Summary:
The 23092 zip code area is home to two schools: Middlesex Elementary and St. Clare Walker Middle, both part of the Middlesex County Public Schools district. While Middlesex Elementary serves a student population with significant economic challenges, St. Clare Walker Middle stands out for its strong performance on state mathematics assessments, particularly in the upper grades.
Middlesex Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. In contrast, St. Clare Walker Middle has a lower student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its relatively stronger academic outcomes. Both schools have a majority white student population, suggesting that factors beyond racial composition, such as socioeconomic status and instructional practices, may be more influential in driving the observed performance differences.
Overall, the data highlights the importance of considering multiple factors, including economic disadvantage, instructional resources, and specific academic strengths and weaknesses, when analyzing and comparing the performance of schools within a given geographic area. While Middlesex Elementary faces challenges related to economic disadvantage, St. Clare Walker Middle demonstrates academic success, particularly in mathematics, which may be attributed to its lower student-teacher ratio and more effective instructional practices.
