The school faces several challenges, including consistently performing below the state average in proficiency rates for NJSLA English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments across grades 7 and 8. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had 37% proficiency in 7th grade ELA and 20.1% proficiency in 7th grade Math, compared to the state averages of 57% and 38.8% respectively. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students performing relatively well, but Asian and Hispanic students, as well as English Language Learners and Special Education students, struggling and ranking in the bottom 25% of schools. Additionally, the school has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.2% to 24.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to other middle schools in the surrounding area, such as Crossroads South Middle School and Hammarskjold Upper Elementary School, North Brunswick Township Middle School generally performs worse academically. However, the school does perform relatively well in Algebra and Geometry, with proficiency rates often exceeding the state averages, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.8 to 10.4 over the past few years, which could indicate a focus on smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students.
