Summary

Sayreville Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Parlin, New Jersey, with an enrollment of 1,335 students. The school is part of the Sayreville School District, which is ranked 334 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sayreville Middle School's academic performance is generally below the state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in NJSLA English Language Arts ranged from 51.7% to 55.4%, compared to the state average of 56.1% to 57.1%. In NJSLA Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates were even lower, ranging from 6% to 38.1%, compared to the state average of 20.7% to 39.8%. However, the school stands out for its strong performance in Algebra and Geometry, with proficiency rates often exceeding the state averages.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Churchill Junior High School in East Brunswick and Matawan-Aberdeen Middle School, Sayreville Middle School generally underperforms on test scores and has higher chronic absenteeism rates. The school's relatively high free/reduced lunch rates and chronic absenteeism suggest that socioeconomic factors may be playing a role in the school's overall academic performance, though the school does perform well for African American students, ranking in the top 25% of New Jersey middle schools.
