Summary

Bunker Hill Middle School is a public middle school located in Sewell, New Jersey, serving 575 students in grades 6-8. It is part of the Washington Township School District, which is ranked 273 out of 609 districts in the state.

Bunker Hill Middle School consistently outperforms the state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, particularly in Algebra I. However, the school's performance in Science lags behind, with only 21.2% of 8th graders proficient or better. The school's student-teacher ratio of 9.4 is lower than nearby schools like Chestnut Ridge Middle School (11.6) and Deptford Township Middle School (13.6), and it spends $12,244 per student, which is higher than the state average and the spending of these nearby schools.

While Bunker Hill Middle School has maintained a consistent level of academic performance, there are concerns about equity gaps. The school's performance for African American and White students is below average compared to other New Jersey middle schools. Additionally, the school has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.9% in 2020-2021 to 16.6% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average. The school should investigate the root causes of these issues and implement strategies to address them, ensuring all students have the opportunity to succeed.
