Summary

West Deptford Middle School is a public middle school serving 832 students in grades 4-8 in West Deptford, New Jersey, which is part of the West Deptford Township School District. The school consistently performs above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with particularly strong results in advanced math courses like Algebra I.

West Deptford Middle School stands out for its performance with certain student subgroups, ranking 53rd out of 359 New Jersey middle schools for African American students and 125th out of 507 for special education students in ELA and math proficiency. The school also performs well for economically disadvantaged students, ranking 94th out of 613 middle schools in the state. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has been increasing and is an area of concern.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Gloucester City Middle School and Paulsboro Junior High School, West Deptford Middle School generally outperforms its peers in academic achievement. The school's higher per-student spending of $11,057, which is above the state average, and its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11:1 may contribute to its academic success.
