Summary

Willingboro Memorial Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in the Willingboro Public School District in New Jersey, with 561 students. The school consistently underperforms the state average on standardized tests, with only 31.2% of 7th graders and 29.2% of 8th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 16.5% of 7th graders and 5.2% of 8th graders meeting or exceeding standards in mathematics, compared to the state averages of 57% and 38.8%, respectively.

Willingboro Memorial Middle School also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 23.3% over the past few years, and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 33% to 56.86%. In comparison, nearby schools like Hartford Upper Elementary School in Mount Laurel and William Allen Middle School in Moorestown have higher academic proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and lower percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

However, the school does have one bright spot - its performance in Algebra I, where 42.8% of students were proficient or better in 2024-2025, higher than the Willingboro Public School District average of 11.4% and the state average of 38.2%. Despite the higher per-student spending of $16,254, which is above the state average, the school's overall academic performance remains a significant concern.
