Summary

Lake Riviera Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Brick, New Jersey, part of the Brick Township Public School District. With 896 students and a student-teacher ratio of around 11.5, the school has consistently ranked in the middle third of New Jersey middle schools over the past 10 years, typically receiving a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Lake Riviera Middle School's test scores are generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, the school stands out in its Algebra I performance, with over 94% of students scoring proficient or better on the Algebra I end-of-course exam in recent years. However, the school's science proficiency rates are quite low, with only around 12-20% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better on the NJSLA-S science assessment. The school also performs particularly well for its African American student population, ranking in the top quartile of New Jersey middle schools for this subgroup in recent years, but its Hispanic and White student populations perform relatively poorly, ranking in the bottom half or bottom third of New Jersey middle schools.

Lake Riviera Middle School's high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 14.9% to 21.1% over the past few years, and its relatively high free/reduced lunch population of 38-42% may be contributing factors to its overall academic performance. Compared to nearby middle schools in the same district, Lake Riviera Middle School performs similarly or slightly better on most metrics, but when looking at a broader set of nearby schools across different districts, the school stands out as a relatively average performer, with some bright spots and some areas of concern. Targeted interventions and support for the school's underperforming student subgroups, as well as efforts to improve attendance, could help Lake Riviera Middle School improve its overall standing and better serve its diverse student population.
