Summary:
The Woodland Park School District in New Jersey has only one middle school, Memorial Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 320 out of 748 New Jersey middle schools in 2022-2023 to 399 out of 752 in 2024-2025, its performance on standardized tests is mixed, with strengths in 7th grade English Language Arts (ELA) but weaknesses in other grade levels and subject areas.
One area of concern is the school's particularly low performance on the NJSLA-S/Science test for 8th grade, with only 11.3% of students scoring proficient or better, compared to the state average of 19%. However, the school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 15.56% in 2023-2024, and a student-teacher ratio of 9.1, which is lower than the state average and suggests relatively small class sizes.
The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $13,806, which is higher than the state average. While the data provides a detailed snapshot of Memorial Middle School's performance and characteristics, it is important to understand the underlying factors driving the school's performance and to develop targeted strategies to address the identified challenges and support the academic success of its students.
