Summary

Macopin Middle School serves 675 students in grades 6–8 in West Milford, in the West Milford Township Public School District. Its 2025–2026 average proficiency across grades 6–8 was 52% in English Language Arts (ELA) and 30% in math, compared with nearby-school averages of 65% and 45%. The most important takeaway is that, despite a better SchoolDigger ranking, Macopin’s overall test results remain well below nearby schools.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject relative to the state: its average was about 1 point below the state, while math was below the state in all three grades and trailed nearby schools by 13 to 18 points. In grade 7 math, Macopin scored 34%, compared with a nearby average of 52%; grade 8 was its lowest math result at 20%. Macopin matched its district in grade-level ELA and math. Algebra I stands out: grade 8 proficiency was 100%, versus 75% statewide, and the end-of-course result was 100%, versus 40% statewide and 25% districtwide. Science was 19%, nearly equal to the state and district, but 8 points below the nearby average. Algebra I tested-student counts are unavailable, so that result should be read with caution.

Results show improvement over time: ELA rose from 42% in 2022–2023 to 52% in 2025–2026, narrowing the gap with the state from 12 points to 1. SchoolDigger’s school percentile increased from 36 to 52 and its rating from 2 to 3 stars, though nearby schools score from the 55th to 90th percentiles. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well it serves Special Education Students climbed from the 22nd to the 47th percentile; for Hispanic Students, it rose from the 31st to the 59th. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 11.2, above the nearby average of 10.1. Also that year, 22% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a 17% nearby average; these figures describe context, not causes of results.
