Summary:
The middle-school picture in Hamilton Township School District consists of one school: William Davies Middle School, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 943 students. Its results vary by subject and grade: Algebra I is a standout, while most grade-level ELA and math scores are below state results. The key takeaway is that ELA and math averages improved, but they still trail the state.

Against the state in 2025–26, William Davies’s strongest result was Algebra I end-of-course: 80% proficient versus 40% statewide, a 41-point advantage. Eighth-grade math was another relative bright spot, at 28% versus 23% statewide. The largest listed shortfall was seventh-grade ELA, at 39% compared with 56% statewide, 16 points lower; sixth- and seventh-grade math were also 13 points below state results. Across grades 6–8, the school averaged 45% in ELA and 27% in math, versus state averages of 53% and 34%.
Results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26 across all three reported ELA and math grades, and the school’s combined average gap with the state narrowed from 13 to 8 percentage points. Improvement was not universal: Algebra I end-of-course proficiency eased from 82% to 80%, and eighth-grade science was nearly unchanged at 9% and 9%, compared with 19% statewide in both years.
