Summary

Hammonton Middle School is a public middle school serving 834 students in grades 6-8 in Hammonton, New Jersey, which is part of the Hammonton School District. The school consistently ranks in the top half of New Jersey middle schools, with strong performance in English Language Arts and Algebra I, but struggles more in mathematics proficiency.

Hammonton Middle School's academic performance is generally above the state average, particularly in 6th and 8th grade English Language Arts where over 60% of students score proficient or better. However, the school's mathematics proficiency rates are lower, ranging from 15-40% across grade levels. One bright spot is the school's exceptional performance in Algebra I, with over 87% of students scoring proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average. Compared to nearby middle schools, Hammonton Middle School generally outperforms schools like Ann A. Mullen Middle School, Pine Hill Middle School, and Buena Regional Middle School on academic measures, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Indian Mills Memorial School.

One area of concern for Hammonton Middle School is the recent increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.5% in 2020-2021 to 16.6% in 2022-2023. The school should focus on improving attendance, as chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 13.4 is similar to nearby schools, and its free and reduced lunch rate of 35-38% is lower than some higher-poverty neighboring schools, suggesting it serves a relatively more affluent student population.
