Summary:
The Jamesburg Public School District has only one middle school, Grace M. Breckwedel Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently underperformed the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across multiple grade levels and school years, suggesting it is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.
Grace M. Breckwedel Middle School has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 60.7%, indicating that the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $10,563, which is higher than the state average, its academic performance remains low, potentially suggesting issues with resource allocation. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% is relatively high, which can negatively impact student learning and academic progress.
The data also shows that the school's statewide ranking has been declining over the past few years, dropping from 427 out of 748 New Jersey middle schools in 2022-2023 to 509 out of 752 in 2024-2025. This trend suggests that the school is not keeping pace with improvements in other middle schools across the state, and addressing the underlying issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve the educational outcomes for the students at Grace M. Breckwedel Middle School.
