Summary

Memorial Middle School is a public middle school located in Eatontown, New Jersey, serving grades 6-8 with a total of 178 students. The school is part of the Eatontown Public School District, which is ranked 362 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Memorial Middle School faces challenges in overall academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to the state and high-performing nearby schools, it has some bright spots. The school's performance in Algebra I is exceptional, with proficiency rates of 95.2% in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the state average of 38.2%. Additionally, the school has a low student-teacher ratio of 7 students per teacher, which is lower than the nearby schools. However, the school's rising chronic absenteeism, from 16.6% in 2022-2023 to 23.0% in 2023-2024, is an area of concern that the school and district should focus on improving.

Compared to nearby schools, Memorial Middle School generally performs lower than high-performing schools like Knollwood School and Markham Place School, but outperforms some other nearby schools, such as Red Bank Middle School and Long Branch Middle School. The school's diverse student population and high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds may contribute to the academic performance gaps observed, and supporting the underperforming student subgroups should be a priority for the school and district.
