Marlboro Middle School's key strengths include its exceptional academic performance, particularly in advanced mathematics courses. In 2024-2025, the school had over 80% of 6th graders and nearly 70% of 7th and 8th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, significantly exceeding the state averages.

While the school's student-teacher ratio is favorable, it could focus on improving its chronic absenteeism rate, which has fluctuated in recent years.
