Summary:
The Totowa Public School District has one middle school, Washington Park School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has shown consistent performance, ranking in the top 40% of New Jersey middle schools over the past three years and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Washington Park School excels in English Language Arts, with proficiency rates ranging from 52.9% to 66.3% across grade levels, outperforming the state average. However, the school's math proficiency rates, ranging from 27.1% to 44.8%, generally fall below the state average. The school's science proficiency rates are also below the state averages. Notably, the school has exceptional performance in Algebra I, with 100% proficiency rates.
The school's student-teacher ratio of 12.4 is lower than the state average, and its free/reduced lunch rate of 20.53% indicates a relatively low level of economic disadvantage among the student population. These factors may contribute to the school's overall strong performance, though the district may want to focus on improving math proficiency rates to ensure students are well-rounded in their academic development.
