Summary

Hardyston Township Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Hardyston Township School District in Hamburg, New Jersey. With 256 students, the school is ranked 244 out of 752 New Jersey middle schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hardyston Township Middle School consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grade levels, but its performance in Mathematics and Science is more mixed, with some grades below the state average. The school's Hispanic and Special Education students perform exceptionally well, ranking 57th and 108th out of New Jersey middle schools in their respective subgroups. However, the school's performance for its White and Low Socio-Economic Status (SES) students is relatively weaker, ranking 253rd and 396th out of New Jersey middle schools in these subgroups.

Compared to nearby schools, Hardyston Township Middle School faces competition from higher-performing institutions such as Pearl R. Miller Middle School and Long Pond School, which consistently outperform Hardyston Township Middle School in both academic achievement and student group performance. Additionally, the school's lower per-student spending and higher student-teacher ratio compared to the state average may be contributing factors to its performance challenges, and the district should consider allocating more resources to the school to support student success.
