Summary:
The 08302 zip code in New Jersey is home to a single middle school, Woodruff Middle School, which is part of the Upper Deerfield Township School District. This school has faced significant challenges, with consistently low performance on standardized tests and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Woodruff Middle School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 496 out of 743 middle schools in 2023-2024 to 623 out of 752 in 2024-2025. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is 14.9%, and student performance on standardized tests is significantly below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 30.8% of 6th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 56.1%.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.9 for the 2023-2024 school year, and a spending per student of $13,513 in the 2018-2019 school year, Woodruff Middle School appears to be struggling to provide a high-quality education for its students. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, at 54.75% in 2023-2024, may be a contributing factor to the school's challenges. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to help Woodruff Middle School improve student outcomes and better serve its community.
