Summary:
The city of Manville, New Jersey is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. Unfortunately, the data reveals that the Manville School District is consistently underperforming compared to state averages across key metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.
Proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly lower than the state average at all grade levels, with only 31.5% of students at Manville High School proficient in ELA and just 4.7% proficient in Algebra I. Graduation rates are also slightly below the state average at 89.7%, and chronic absenteeism is a major issue, ranging from 15.2% at Alexander Batcho Intermediate to 27.3% at Manville High School.
The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 47.5% at Manville High School to 60.98% at Roosevelt School, suggests that the schools are serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. This, combined with the lack of improvement in the schools' statewide rankings over time, indicates that the Manville School District may need to implement more comprehensive strategies and targeted interventions to address the root causes of the academic struggles faced by its students.
