Explore Middle School

The school has about 151 students, which is a small number, and this means that there is a low student-to-teacher ratio of about 10:1. This structure makes it easier for teachers to teach each student in a way that is best for them and for students and teachers to work together more closely in core academic areas. Math, English language arts, science, and social studies are some of the main subjects that Explore Middle School teaches. They teach in a way that helps students do well in school and stay interested in learning. Based on the performance data that is available, about 57% of students do well enough in math to be considered proficient, and about 77% do well enough in reading to be considered proficient. These results show that students did better in English language arts than in math, which is a trend seen in many urban public schools. The student body reflects the diverse population of Jersey City, with a large number of minority students making the school a culturally rich place to be. State and local sources pay for instruction and student services at this public school. Explore Middle School is known for its small size, good reading scores, and helpful learning environment.
