Summary

Veterans Memorial Middle School serves 865 students in grades 6–8 in Brick, New Jersey. SchoolDigger ranks it 371st of 743 New Jersey schools for 2025–2026, at the 50th percentile with 3 stars. Its academic results are mixed, but one contrast stands out: Algebra I proficiency is 92%, while average proficiency across regular-grade math is just 31%—the clearest finding for families is that the strong Algebra result does not reflect consistently strong math results across grades.

Algebra I is also above the nearby-school average of 90%, the district’s 36%, and the state’s 40%. Regular-grade math, by comparison, is below the nearby average of 33%, the district’s 32%, and the state’s 34%. Science is a relative strength locally: eighth-grade proficiency is 17%, above the nearby average of 15%, though below the state’s 19% and the district’s 19%. ELA varies by grade: grade 7 is 55%, close to the state’s 56% and above the district’s 52%, while grades 6 and 8 are below state results. Grade 7 math is a particular weak spot at 32%, versus 39% at nearby schools and 38% statewide.

Results over time offer some encouragement, alongside a recent ELA setback. Average math proficiency rose 9 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, narrowing its gap with the state; eighth-grade science rose 6 points. ELA, however, fell 9 points in the latest year, to 50%, below the state’s 53%. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile also fell 6 points from 2024–2025. The student-teacher ratio was 11.3 in 2024–2025, close to the nearby average of 10.9; 35% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s group rankings show a higher relative standing for English Language Learner Students (73rd percentile) and a lower one for White Students (26th), compared with the school’s overall 50th percentile.
