Summary:
The 08004 zip code in New Jersey is home to a single middle school, Winslow Township Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Winslow Township School District. The school's performance has been declining over the past three years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and a ranking that has dropped from 571 out of 748 schools in 2022-2023 to 638 out of 752 in 2024-2025.
Winslow Township Middle School's academic performance is significantly below state averages across all subjects and grade levels. Proficiency rates in English Language Arts range from 27.4% to 35.7%, compared to the state average of 57% to 57.1%, while Mathematics proficiency rates range from 5.3% to 14.2%, far below the state average of 20.7% to 38.8%. The school also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% and a high percentage of students (48.24%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need student population.
Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.1, which is lower than the state average. However, the school's per-student spending of $11,293 for the 2018-2019 school year may not be sufficient to address the needs of its high-need student population and improve academic outcomes. Overall, Winslow Township Middle School is underperforming compared to state averages, and its declining performance and high-need student population suggest significant challenges that need to be addressed to improve educational opportunities for its students.
