Summary:

The 08854 zip code of Piscataway, New Jersey is home to three middle schools: Theodore Schor Middle School, Quibbletown Middle School, and Conackamack Middle School. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and are part of the Piscataway Township School District.

Among the three schools, Conackamack Middle School stands out as the highest-performing, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and the strongest academic performance across English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. Conackamack also has the lowest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and the smallest student-teacher ratio, suggesting a more affluent and academically-engaged student population.

While the chronic absenteeism rates are consistent across all three schools, the significant variation in Mathematics proficiency, particularly in 8th grade, is an area of concern. The district-level data indicates that the Piscataway Township School District as a whole is performing slightly below the state averages in many areas, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to address these challenges and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the 08854 zip code.
