Burlington Township Middle School at Springside

Summary:

Burlington Township Middle School at Springside is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Burlington Township School District in New Jersey. The school has 822 students and is located in Burlington, NJ. While the district as a whole is ranked 407 out of 613 districts in New Jersey and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, the middle school has faced some academic challenges.

Academically, Burlington Township Middle School at Springside has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Jersey middle schools over the past 10 years, with proficiency rates below the state average in most grade levels and subjects. However, the school performs relatively well in certain subgroups, such as African American students and English Language Learners, where it ranks in the top 25% and top 20% of New Jersey middle schools, respectively. The school also stands out for its exceptional performance in Algebra I, with proficiency rates reaching 100% in 2023-2024.

Compared to nearby schools like Walnut Street School, Riverside Middle School, and Moorestown Upper Elementary School, which generally perform better on academic measures, Burlington Township Middle School at Springside serves a more economically disadvantaged population, with higher rates of low-income students and chronic absenteeism. This suggests that the school may be facing unique challenges in supporting its students' academic needs, despite its strengths in certain areas.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote Teachers in this school are bullies and don’t care about the students. They do the minimal amount of work possible. Regret moving here and putting my child in this school district. Close Quote

Open Quote Not competitive enough. Teachers do not seem to care about students academic performance. Seems to be doing more to dumb down our children, rather than challenging them to reach their academic potential. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
