Best Public Schools in Manchester, NJ


Summary:

The Manchester Township School District in New Jersey serves students from four schools - two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. The district faces some academic challenges, with most schools performing below state averages on standardized tests, but also shows some bright spots, such as the strong performance of Manchester Township Middle School in Algebra I. Socioeconomic factors, such as high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be contributing to the district's academic struggles.

Among the standout schools in the district is Ridgeway Elementary School, which has the lowest student-teacher ratio and the highest per-student spending compared to the other elementary schools. In contrast, Manchester Township Elementary School lags behind its counterpart in several metrics, suggesting potential differences in the quality of education or resources between the two elementary schools.

At the high school level, Manchester Township High School boasts a strong 92.9% four-year graduation rate and a low 0.3% dropout rate, but also faces challenges with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.8%. The district as a whole has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, indicating a need to address the underlying factors impacting academic performance across the Manchester Township School District.
