Summary

William R. Satz School is a public middle school in Holmdel serving 455 students in grades 7–8 as part of the Holmdel Township School District. Its latest results show strong achievement across English language arts (ELA), math and science: Satz outperformed state averages in every reported grade and subject, with Grade 8 science an especially notable strength.

Satz is among the area’s strongest schools on matched-grade tests. In 2025–2026, ELA proficiency was 80% in Grade 7 and 81% in Grade 8, respectively 24 and 27 points above state results; Satz also led nearby schools in both grades. Math was 66% in Grade 7 and 48% in Grade 8, 27 and 25 points above the state; Satz ranked second among nearby schools in Grade 7 and first in Grade 8. Grade 8 science reached 52%, 33 points above the state and equal to the district; the nearby-school average was 24%, and the next-highest result was 42%. Algebra I proficiency was 100% for the end-of-course result and both grades, matching the district. Attendance is a concern by comparison: chronic absenteeism was 17% in 2024–2025, 3 points above the state and 1 point above the district.

Results have improved substantially in some areas, although not every trend is steady: Grade 8 math rose 38 points over four years, Grade 8 science rose 14 points, and ELA gains were more modest. SchoolDigger ranks Satz 40th of 743 New Jersey schools for 2025–2026, at the 95th percentile with 5 stars; it ranks 67th of 607 districts at the 89th percentile with 4 stars. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 9.7. Satz reported 2.9% free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the lowest share among nearby schools with the same measure; Indian Hill School was next at 3.1%. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Special Education Students rose sharply from 70 in 2024–2025 to 96 in 2025–2026, just above Satz’s overall 95th percentile.
