Medford Township School District, NJ

Original Research by School Decision on Medford Township School District

Medford Township School District serves students from preschool through eighth grade in Burlington County. It covers the township of Medford, a community that has seen a modest population decline, and its housing values are well above the national benchmark. The district operates seven schools: a sixth-grade center, a middle school, and five elementary schools. Since the district does not serve high school grades, it has no reported graduation rate, and families should plan for where their child will attend ninth grade.

The district enrolls a student body that is predominantly white, with a smaller share of Hispanic students, an even smaller share of Asian students, a small share of Black students, a small share of students identifying as two or more races, and a handful of Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and American Indian or Alaska Native students. The proportion of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch was not reported. The share of students with disabilities and the share of English learners were also not reported. A parent may want to ask the school directly about supports for these groups, since the available data does not describe them.

On state assessments, which are the New Jersey Student Learning Assessments, the district's results show a clear pattern. In English language arts, proficiency rates are strong across grades three through eight, with seventh graders reaching the highest point in the district. In math, the picture is more mixed. Third through seventh graders post rates that are solid, but eighth-grade math shows a sharp drop. Science results follow a similar shape: fifth graders are around the midpoint, while eighth graders are well below it. The gap in eighth-grade math and science, which comes at the end of the middle school years, is a soft spot in an otherwise reliable academic profile. A family with a child approaching eighth grade may want to ask the middle school about the math and science curriculum at that level.

Compared with Burlington County's districts, Medford Township School District sits in the top quartile for overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades. Its chronic absenteeism rate is also in the top quartile, meaning fewer students are missing a lot of school than in most other districts in the county. Per-pupil current spending lands in the upper half of the middle range, broadly in line with what many neighboring districts spend.

The housing market in Medford Township reflects a community where demand is solid. Homes here are priced well above the national median, and values have continued to rise. The local real estate market shows a modest increase in listings and a relatively fast turnaround, with homes typically selling within about a month. For families moving in, this is a high-cost area that supports a well-performing school district. The district itself has not publicly reported major recent changes in curriculum, budget, or facilities, so the current program offerings appear stable without a notable new initiative or referendum to track.
