Summary:
The Clayton Public School District in New Jersey has only one middle school, Clayton Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Jersey middle schools over the past three years, indicating persistent academic challenges.
Clayton Middle School's performance is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the state averages. The school also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate than the state average. These factors suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning outcomes.
Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 49.12% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school, and the slightly lower per-student spending and higher student-teacher ratio could indicate resource allocation challenges that may be impacting the school's ability to provide a high-quality education.
