Summary:
The 08055 zip code area is home to three middle schools: Medford Memorial Middle School, Neeta School, and Haines Sixth Grade Center. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and are part of the Medford Township School District and Medford Lakes School District.
Among the three schools, Neeta School stands out as the top performer, ranking in the top 10% of New Jersey middle schools and maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years. Neeta School consistently outperforms the state and district averages on standardized tests, with 84.8% of 7th graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to 57% statewide. The school also has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 9.8, suggesting smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students.
While the other two schools, Medford Memorial Middle School and Haines Sixth Grade Center, do not reach the same level of excellence as Neeta School, they still demonstrate respectable academic performance. Medford Memorial Middle School, in particular, shows strong results in 7th and 8th grade ELA and Algebra I. However, all three schools face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 14.9%, which is an area that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student attendance and engagement.
