Summary:
The 08081 zip code area is home to two middle schools: Ann A. Mullen Middle School and Winslow Township Elementary School Six. These schools serve students in grades 5-8 and are part of the Gloucester Township Public Schools and Winslow Township School District, respectively.
Ann A. Mullen Middle School stands out with its higher student enrollment of 945 students and stronger academic performance, particularly in NJSLA/Algebra I assessments, where it exceeds the district and state averages. However, the school lags behind in NJSLA/Science proficiency rates. In contrast, Winslow Township Elementary School Six has a lower student population of 525 and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to its lower proficiency rates across most NJSLA assessments, especially in Mathematics.
Both schools share a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%, which is an area of concern that may impact student learning and achievement. Ann A. Mullen Middle School spends more per student at $12,831, compared to $11,409 at Winslow Township Elementary School Six, but the data suggests that simply spending more does not necessarily translate to higher academic outcomes. Overall, the analysis highlights the need for further investigation into the factors driving the performance differences between the two schools and targeted interventions to address the areas of concern.
