Summary

Red Bank Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 4-8 in the Red Bank Borough Public School District in New Jersey, with 599 students enrolled.

Academically, Red Bank Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom half of New Jersey middle schools, typically between 400-500 out of around 750 schools. Its performance on state assessments (NJSLA) is below the state average across most grade levels and subject areas, with only 34.9% of 4th graders proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 53.6%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 16.6% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.1 to 10.3 in recent years.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Forrestdale School and Markham Place School, which consistently rank in the top 10-50 middle schools in the state, Red Bank Middle School is clearly underperforming academically. The school's higher spending per student, at $15,373, does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes for its students.

I'm proud to live in a town with such an outstanding school district. As a member of the Red Bank Borough Education Foundation, I constantly witness the dedication of the school administration and staff to the children of Red Bank. And the results are clear. In 2019, the district was one of 11 in the state to receive the prestigious distinction of Lighthouse District by NJDOE, an honor which recognizes substantial academic improvement. Also last year, the district was designated as a "High Performance District" by NJDOE. Close Quote

Two of my three children attend the RBMS. The quality of the teachers is EXTREMELY high, my children come home year over year with a huge uptick in their abilities.There is real involvement by the teachers to make classes and learning engaging - across all subjects. The teachers are the central source for learning, but we also have strong community partnerships that afford us access to arts, writing, music and sports. The kids are from hard-working families that respect authority, qualities that we as parents instill in our children. We couldn't be happier. Close Quote
