Summary

Memorial Middle School is a public middle school located in Little Ferry, New Jersey, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 327 students. The school is part of the Little Ferry Public School District, which is ranked 393 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Memorial Middle School has shown mixed academic performance compared to the state and district averages. While the school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are generally on par with or slightly above the state and district, its Mathematics proficiency rates are often below the state and district averages, particularly in the higher grades. However, the school's performance in Algebra I is a standout, with 80% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the state (38.2%) and district (80%) averages. In science, Memorial Middle School's proficiency rates are below the state and district averages, with only 13% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in 2024-2025.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Thomas Jefferson Middle School (Teaneck), Secaucus Middle School, and Alfred S. Faust Middle School (East Rutherford), Memorial Middle School generally performs in the middle to lower range. However, the school's performance for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is relatively stronger compared to nearby schools, suggesting the school may be providing additional support for this population. To improve, the school could focus on addressing its high chronic absenteeism rates and developing targeted interventions to boost Mathematics and Science proficiency, particularly for underperforming student subgroups.
