Summary

Churchill Junior High School serves grades 7–9 and enrolls 2,080 students in East Brunswick, New Jersey. Its strongest overall picture comes with an important caveat: seventh-grade math is strong, but eighth-grade general math is far below the state result.

Churchill stands out in English and science, while its math results vary sharply by grade. Across grades 7–9, ELA proficiency averaged 70%, compared with 54% statewide and 69% in the East Brunswick Township School District; Churchill also had the highest nearby scores in grades 7 and 8, ahead of Highland Park Middle School. Eighth-grade science was 33%, versus 19% statewide and nearly the same as the district. Seventh-grade math reached 57%, 19 points above the state and the highest among nearby schools reporting results. By contrast, eighth-grade general math was 11%, 11 points below the state and equal to the district; it was second among nearby schools, just behind South River Middle School. Advanced-course results were also strong: Geometry end-of-course proficiency was 80%, 29 points above the state.

Results have moved in different directions: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, Geometry end-of-course proficiency rose from 50% to 80%, while Algebra II fell from 99% to 71%; the average for grades 7–9 ELA declined from 74% to 70%. SchoolDigger ranks Churchill 163rd of 743 New Jersey schools, at the 78th percentile with four stars, up 29 percentile points from 2015–16. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 12.8, the second-highest reported among nearby schools, and 26% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness percentile for White students was 41, 37 points below Churchill’s overall 78; for special education students, it rose from 62 in 2023–24 to 80 in 2025–26, above the school’s overall percentile.
