Summary

Hazlet Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in the Hazlet Township Public School District, with 389 students. The school's academic performance is generally below the state average, with only 45.9% of 8th graders proficient or better in ELA and 8.8% in Math on the NJSLA assessments. However, the school performs better in Algebra I, with 66.1% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 38.2%.

Hazlet Middle School faces challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism and an increasing percentage of students from low-income backgrounds. The school's performance is lower than nearby higher-performing schools, such as Bayshore Middle School, Marlboro Memorial Middle School, and William R. Satz School. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 230 out of 717 NJ middle schools in 2013-2014 to 427 out of 752 in 2024-2025.

Addressing the disparities in performance across different student subgroups should be a priority for the school and district. The significant performance gaps between student subgroups, such as the large difference in ranking between Hispanic and White students, suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
