Summary:
The Mount Laurel Township School District is home to two middle schools: T.E. Harrington Middle School and Hartford Upper Elementary School. Both schools are performing reasonably well, with some areas for potential improvement.
T.E. Harrington Middle School is ranked 284 out of 752 New Jersey middle schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperformed the state average in several subject areas, including Algebra I, Geometry, and English Language Arts. It also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%. Hartford Upper Elementary School also outperformed the state average in English Language Arts for both 5th and 6th grades and has the same low chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%.
While both schools demonstrated exceptional performance in Algebra I and Geometry, their performance in general Mathematics was more mixed, with 8th-grade proficiency rates below 30%. This could be an area for the district to focus on improving. Additionally, both schools had lower proficiency rates in Science compared to other subject areas. The district's focus on advanced math curriculum and efficient resource allocation appear to be paying dividends, but continued efforts to address challenges in general Mathematics and chronic absenteeism could further enhance the educational experience for students.
