The Summit Public School District in New Jersey is home to one exceptional middle school, Lawton C. Johnson Summit Middle School. This school consistently ranks among the top 4% of middle schools in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and boasting impressive academic performance across multiple subjects.
Lawton C. Johnson Summit Middle School stands out for its exceptional test scores, with over 70% of students proficient in English Language Arts and up to 71% proficient in Mathematics. The school's Algebra I proficiency rates are particularly noteworthy, with 100% of 8th-grade students and all Algebra I students scoring proficient or better. While the school's science proficiency rates are slightly lower than its ELA and Math scores, they still exceed the state average, indicating a well-rounded educational experience for students.
Despite its high performance, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.4 to 1 and a per-student spending that is lower than the state average, suggesting the district is effectively allocating resources to support student learning. However, the school's relatively low percentage of economically disadvantaged students may raise concerns about equity and access to educational opportunities for all students in the district.
