The school is part of the Stratford School District, which is ranked 446 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the school's strengths is its consistent performance in English Language Arts (ELA), with 4th-grade students scoring 65.2% proficient or better, compared to the state average of 53.6%. The school also excels in Algebra I, with 89.5% of students scoring proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average of 38.2%. However, the school struggles in higher-grade mathematics, with only 7.9% of 8th-graders scoring proficient or better, compared to the state average of 20.7%.

In contrast, schools like Lindenwold Middle School and Pine Hill Middle School, which are within a 5-mile radius, struggle significantly, with less than 25% of students scoring proficient or better in many subject areas. The school's performance gaps between different socioeconomic groups indicate that economic factors still play a significant role in student outcomes.
