Northfield City School District

The Northfield City School District consists of two schools: Northfield Community Elementary School and Northfield Community Middle School. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and is located in Northfield, New Jersey.

The standout school in the district appears to be Northfield Community Middle School, which has consistently ranked higher than the elementary school, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 166 out of 752 New Jersey middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year. The middle school outperforms the state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across most grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 52% in 5th grade to 82.3% in 7th grade for ELA, and from 17.9% in 8th grade to 87.8% in Algebra I for Mathematics.

While the Northfield Community Elementary School also performs well, with ELA proficiency rates ranging from 51.5% in 3rd grade to 63.6% in 4th grade, and Mathematics proficiency rates ranging from 50% in 4th grade to 62.3% in 3rd grade, the middle school's consistently higher performance suggests that it may have more effective teaching practices, curriculum, and resources. Both schools have relatively low percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and low student-teacher ratios, indicating equitable resource allocation across the district.
