Summary

Riverside Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Riverside, New Jersey, part of the Riverside Township School District. With 295 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New Jersey middle schools, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Riverside Middle School significantly underperforms the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 28.4% of 6th graders, 21.8% of 7th graders, and 35.2% of 8th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 56.1%, 57%, and 57.1% respectively. The math proficiency rates are even lower, ranging from 6.5% to 14.2% compared to the state averages of 20.7% to 39.8%. The school also struggles to support its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of New Jersey middle schools for African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, as well as students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Riverside Middle School's challenges extend beyond academics. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 19.6% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Despite spending more per student than the state average at $13,073, the school's performance has not improved over time. In comparison, nearby middle schools such as Delran Middle School, Cinnaminson Middle School, and William Allen Middle School have higher academic proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and better overall performance.
