Summary

Lyndhurst Middle School is a public middle school serving around 620 students in grades 6-8 in Lyndhurst, New Jersey, which is part of the Lyndhurst Public School District. The school currently ranks 327 out of 752 New Jersey middle schools and receives a 3 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Lyndhurst Middle School's key strengths is its performance for English Language Learner (ELL) and low socioeconomic status (SES) students. The school consistently ranks among the top 20% of New Jersey middle schools for ELL student performance and the top 25% for low SES students, indicating it is effectively supporting these populations. However, the school's mathematics proficiency lags behind, with only 9-36% of students scoring proficient or better on recent NJSLA math assessments, an area the school could focus on improving.

Compared to nearby middle schools, Lyndhurst Middle School generally performs on par or slightly better than schools like Secaucus Middle School and Bloomfield Middle School. But it falls behind higher-performing schools in the region, such as Union School and John H. Walker Middle School. Additionally, Lyndhurst Middle School has seen a concerning rise in chronic absenteeism, from 7.9% in 2020-2021 to 14.9% in 2023-2024, which the school should address.
