Summary:
The Tabernacle Township School District in New Jersey is home to a single middle school, Kenneth R. Olson Middle School, which serves students in grades 5-8. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate and strong performance in Algebra I, it also faces challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance across all subject areas and grade levels.
Kenneth R. Olson Middle School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 334 out of 743 New Jersey middle schools in 2023-2024 to 408 out of 748 in 2022-2023. The school's performance on NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessments) is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics ranging from below to above the state averages, depending on the grade level. The school's performance in NJSLA-S (Science) is also below the state average.
Despite these academic challenges, the school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (9.18% in 2023-2024) and a student-teacher ratio of 10.2, which is lower than the state average. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $10,423. Overall, while Kenneth R. Olson Middle School has some positive attributes, it faces the need for targeted improvement efforts to address its inconsistent academic performance and declining statewide ranking.
