Summary

Roselle Park Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Roselle Park, New Jersey, with 443 students. The school faces several challenges, including academic performance that is generally below the state average across grade levels and subject areas, as well as high chronic absenteeism rates.

Roselle Park Middle School's academic performance, as measured by NJSLA test scores, lags behind the state average, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranging from 47.4% to 52.1%, compared to the state average of 56.1% to 57.1%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates range from 10.9% to 36.2%, compared to the state average of 20.7% to 39.8%. However, the school's students perform relatively well in Algebra and Geometry, often exceeding the state average in these subjects.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Orange Avenue School in Cranford, which consistently ranks among the top middle schools in the state, Roselle Park Middle School's performance is generally lower. However, the school outperforms some other nearby schools, such as those in the Hillside and Linden school districts, which also struggle with low academic achievement. The school's high per-student spending of $7,441, which is above the state average, does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, suggesting the need for a re-evaluation of resource allocation and spending priorities.
