Summary:
The West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District is home to two high-performing middle schools: Thomas R Grover Middle School and Community Middle School. Both schools consistently rank among the top middle schools in New Jersey, with exceptional academic achievements and strong resource allocation.
Thomas R Grover Middle School ranked 97th out of 752 New Jersey middle schools in 2024-2025, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Community Middle School ranked even higher, at 67th out of 752, with a 5-star rating. Both schools significantly outperform the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels, with particularly impressive results in Algebra I, where over 99% of 7th-grade students and around 70-80% of 8th-grade students scored proficient or better.
The schools' strong performance is supported by a high level of resource allocation, with per-student spending around $12,100-$12,300 and relatively low student-teacher ratios of 11.9 and 9.8, respectively. However, the relatively low rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at both schools, around 5-6%, may suggest that the district's high-performing schools are not fully representative of the broader community, raising questions about equity and access to quality education for students from lower-income backgrounds.
