Summary:
The 07643 zip code in New Jersey is home to a single middle school, Memorial Middle School, which serves students in grades 5-8. As part of the Little Ferry Public School District, Memorial Middle School has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and a statewide ranking that has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 355 out of 748 in 2022-2023 to 377 out of 752 in 2024-2025.
While Memorial Middle School performs better than the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) across all grade levels, its math and science proficiency rates are areas of concern, particularly in the upper grade levels. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% is also higher than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to the academic performance challenges. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 36.39%, suggesting the need to consider the impact of socioeconomic factors on student achievement.
Despite these challenges, Memorial Middle School's low student-teacher ratio of 10.2 could be an asset, though the data does not indicate whether this is translating into improved academic outcomes. Overall, while the school performs better than the state average in ELA, its math and science proficiency rates, as well as its chronic absenteeism rate, are areas that require further attention and improvement.
