Summary:
The 07013 zip code in New Jersey is home to a single middle school, Woodrow Wilson Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Clifton Public School District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance is generally below state averages, with the exception of its strong performance on the NJSLA/Algebra I exam.
Woodrow Wilson Middle School has a student population of 1,232 and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 54.46%. The school's test scores are consistently below the state averages in most subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 36.1% to 51.4% in English Language Arts and 25.8% to 35.5% in mathematics. However, the school's performance on the NJSLA/Algebra I exam was a standout, with 96.3% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the district and state averages.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $12,567, which is above the state average, and its low student-teacher ratio of 10.8, the data suggests that Woodrow Wilson Middle School is facing significant challenges in terms of academic achievement. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% is also higher than the state average. While the school's demographics and resource allocation may be contributing factors, further analysis would be needed to fully understand the drivers of the school's performance and identify potential areas for improvement.
