Summary:
The 08050 zip code area is home to two middle schools: Southern Regional Middle School and Stafford Intermediate School. Both schools serve students in grades 6-8 and are part of the Southern Regional School District and Stafford Township School District, respectively.
Southern Regional Middle School stands out for its strong academic performance, with higher proficiency rates than the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) for 7th and 8th grades, as well as in Mathematics for 7th grade and Algebra I. The school has also maintained a relatively high ranking among New Jersey middle schools, placing in the top 250-325 schools in the state. Stafford Intermediate School also demonstrates solid ELA and Math proficiency rates, exceeding the state averages in most grade levels.
Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, with Southern Regional at 10.8 and Stafford Intermediate at 13.5, indicating smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students. While the schools have similar free/reduced lunch rates, suggesting a moderate level of economic disadvantage, they both spend within the state's average per-student spending range. The data suggests that the middle schools in the 08050 zip code area are performing well academically, with some areas for potential improvement, and there may be opportunities for collaboration between the two schools to further enhance student outcomes.
