Summary:
The Harrison Public Schools district in New Jersey has only one middle school, Washington Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (79.76%) and a high percentage of students (80.97%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income community.
Academically, Washington Middle School struggles to meet state standards, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics consistently below the state averages across all grade levels. The school's performance on the Algebra I assessment is better, but its science proficiency rates are also below the state average. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and favorable student-teacher ratio, these academic challenges suggest the need for a closer examination of the school's instructional practices and resource allocation to better support student learning and address educational equity concerns.
Overall, Harrison Public Schools has only one middle school, Washington Middle School, which serves a predominantly low-income, Hispanic student population. The school's academic performance lags behind state averages, raising concerns about educational equity and the need for the district to evaluate its strategies and resource allocation to help students succeed.
