Summary:
The Vernon Township School District in New Jersey has one middle school, Glen Meadow Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 373 out of 752 New Jersey middle schools in 2024-2025 to 400 out of 748 in 2022-2023.
Glen Meadow Middle School's academic performance is mixed, with the school performing above the state average in some areas, such as 7th grade English Language Arts, but lagging behind in others, particularly in 8th grade Mathematics. The school's proficiency rates in NJSLA/Algebra I for 8th grade (51.7%) are significantly lower than the state average of 72.7%, while its proficiency rates in NJSLA-S/Science for 8th grade (21.6%) are slightly above the state average of 19%. The school's student-teacher ratio of 12.6 is slightly lower than the state average, and its per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $11,241.
Despite the school's relatively affluent student population, as evidenced by its low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (20.94%), the school faces challenges in improving its academic outcomes, particularly in Mathematics. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% for the 2023-2024 school year is also relatively high and may be an area of concern that the school should address.
