Summary:
The Pennsville School District in New Jersey has only one middle school, Pennsville Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently performed below the state average on academic measures, ranking in the bottom third of New Jersey middle schools over the past three years.
Pennsville Middle School has a low statewide ranking, placing between 515-554 out of 743-752 New Jersey middle schools. The school's performance rating is 1-2 out of 5 stars on the SchoolDigger scale, and student proficiency rates on the NJSLA assessments are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, except for 8th-grade Algebra I. The school's science proficiency rate for 8th-grade students is particularly low, at only 7.1% compared to the state average of 19%.
While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.5, it serves a population with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 39.51%. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $12,249, which is higher than the state average, but it is unclear if these resources are being effectively utilized to support student learning and improve academic outcomes.
