Original Research by School Decision on Clearview Regional Middle School
Clearview Regional Middle School occupies a narrow grade band, serving only seventh and eighth graders, and sits on a shared campus in Mullica Hill with the district’s high school. The school is a regular public school, not a charter or magnet, and it serves students from both Harrison Township and Mantua Township under the Clearview Regional High School District. Enrollment falls roughly into two balanced grade-level groups, producing a total middle school population that is moderate in size for a two-grade school.
The student body is predominantly white, with smaller shares of Hispanic, Black, and Asian students, and a very small number of students who identify as American Indian or Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, or two or more races. A modest share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which is low relative to many public schools in the state. Data on students with disabilities and English learners was not available in the profile, so a parent may want to ask the school directly about those populations and the supports in place.
State testing results are available for math, English language arts, and science. In English language arts, the share of students scoring proficient or above in both seventh and eighth grade was above the midpoint when set against other schools in the county, a clear strength for the school. Math proficiency rates were lower, falling below the midpoint among districts in Gloucester County. Eighth-grade science results, which use a different proficiency standard, were well below the midpoint. A parent considering Clearview Regional Middle School may want to discuss with the school how math and science instruction are structured and what interventions or enrichment are available.
The school sits within the Clearview Regional High School District, which has experienced a steady enrollment decline over the last several years, a trend that can affect class sizes and program decisions. The district has also issued bonds for energy savings and improvement projects at both the middle and high school, signaling a long-term facilities investment.
Mullica Hill, where the school is located, is a census-designated place within Harrison Township that has grown rapidly in recent decades. The village center is a historic Main Street corridor with antique shops, restaurants, and seasonal events, but the area as a whole is car-dependent, with no practical train service and limited bus transit. Housing values in the zip code are above the national median, and the housing stock is predominantly owner-occupied single-family homes on generous lots. New subdivisions have been built in recent years, reflecting the ongoing suburbanization of what was once farmland. The township’s major employer is Inspira Medical Center Mullica Hill, and Rowan University is a short drive away in Glassboro.
The overall academic picture is mixed: English language arts is a genuine strength, while math and science results are areas where a family may want to ask more questions. The school’s setting is suburban and car-oriented, the student body is not highly diverse in economic terms, and the district’s enrollment is shrinking slowly. A parent deciding whether this school fits should weigh the strong ELA results against the weaker math and science numbers, and consider whether the school’s support for students who are not yet meeting proficiency aligns with their child’s needs.
