Summary:
The Upper Township School District has one middle school, Upper Township Middle School, serving grades 6–8 and 419 students. Its 2025–2026 results were above state levels in every reported ELA and mathematics grade, with the strongest overall advantage in mathematics: the school’s grade-level average was 55%, versus 34% statewide, a 21-point lead. The clearest takeaway is that the school’s results are particularly strong in math, while grade 8 science is a notable exception.
There is no top-to-bottom comparison among local schools because the district has only one middle school; comparisons are with state results. The school’s most striking result was grade 8 Algebra I, with 97% proficient compared with 75% statewide, a 22-point advantage. It also led the state by 24 points in grade 7 math and 29 points in grade 8 math. In contrast, 17% were proficient in grade 8 science, 2 points below the state’s 19%. The school was above the state in all three ELA grades as well, though its advantages were smaller, ranging from 3 to 13 points.
Results show both declines and a notable math improvement over time. ELA proficiency fell from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 in all three grades, by 14 points in grade 6, 13 in grade 7, and 9 in grade 8; the school’s average ELA lead over the state narrowed from 18 points to 9. Math was mixed: grade 6 fell 11 points and grade 7 fell 3, while grade 8 rose 17 points. Grade 8 science also declined, from 20% to 17%, while grade 8 Algebra I remained exceptionally high, edging up from 96% to 97%. SchoolDigger ranked the school 184th of 743 schools, at the 75th percentile, with four stars in 2025–2026; its rank was 140th of 752 the prior year. Context figures include a 12.4 student-teacher ratio and 19% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025.
