Delsea Regional Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the years, dropping from 239 out of 745 New Jersey middle schools in 2018-2019 to 419 out of 743 in 2023-2024. The school's rating has also decreased from 3 stars out of 5 in the past to 2 stars out of 5 in the current school year. While the school performs better for certain student subgroups, such as African American students, its performance for Hispanic students and students with low socioeconomic status has declined. Proficiency rates in NJSLA/English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state averages, with the exception of 8th-grade English Language Arts.

However, Delsea Regional Middle School stands out for its exceptional performance in NJSLA/Algebra I, with 86% of 8th-grade students proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average of 73.6%. This is a notable strength that sets the school apart from its peers, including the nearby Buena Regional Middle School, which has consistently lower rankings and test scores. The school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.6% to 29.3%, may be contributing to its overall academic performance, which is generally below the state averages.

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.

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.
