Summary:

The 07071 zip code in New Jersey is home to a single middle school, Lyndhurst Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has seen its statewide ranking improve in recent years, moving from 438th out of 748 New Jersey middle schools in 2022-2023 to 327th out of 752 in 2024-2025.

Lyndhurst Middle School's performance is mixed, with strengths in English Language Arts (ELA) where it outperforms the state average across all grade levels, but struggles in math, particularly in 8th grade where only 9% of students scored proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 20.7%. However, the school excels in Algebra I, with 68.7% of students scoring proficient or better in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the state average of 38.2%. Science proficiency rates are a concern, with only 11.3% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better in 2024-2025.

Lyndhurst Middle School serves a student population of 620, with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 36.45% in 2023-2024. The school's slightly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% in 2023-2024 may also be a contributing factor to its academic challenges. Overall, Lyndhurst Middle School appears to be a strong performer within the Lyndhurst Public School District, but has opportunities for improvement in math and science proficiency when compared to state averages.
