Marlboro Memorial Middle School

Public Grades 6-8

70^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 743 New Jersey Middle Schools

Better than 91% of New Jersey middle schools

Summary

Marlboro Memorial Middle School in Morganville serves 761 students in grades 6–8 in Monmouth County, and its academic results are well above state averages. In 2025–2026, students averaged 73% proficiency in English language arts (ELA) and 56% in math, respectively 20 and 22 points above the state. The biggest concern alongside those strong results is attendance: 17% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, the highest reported rate among the nearby schools compared.

The school is strong against the state and its district, but performance varies by subject and grade among local peers. Eighth-grade science was 42%, 23 points above the state and 5 points above the district; locally, that result ranked second of eight, behind William R. Satz School. All three reported Algebra I results were 100%, matching the district and exceeding state results. Seventh-grade math is a relative weak spot: 60% proficiency was just below the district’s 60% and ranked fifth of eight nearby schools, though it was 22 points above the state. In SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 rankings, Marlboro Memorial placed third among eight nearby schools with rank histories, behind Cedar Drive Middle School and Satz.

Results have shifted over time: grade 8 math fell 12 points, from 55% in 2022–2023 to 43% in 2025–2026, while grade 8 ELA dropped 9 points, from 80% to 71%. Across grades 6–8, average ELA proficiency declined 4 points over that period, while math was nearly unchanged. SchoolDigger ranks the school 70th of 743 New Jersey schools, in the 91st percentile, with five stars; its statewide effectiveness percentiles are lower for African American students (66) and Hispanic students (67), compared with 91 overall. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 10.5 and 15% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. Chronic absenteeism eased from 18% in 2023–2024 but remains a notable concern.
