Summary:
The Manville School District in New Jersey consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism, and low statewide rankings across its schools.
Manville High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91.1% and a low dropout rate of 1.2%, but its academic performance is concerning, with only 42.5% of 9th graders proficient or better in ELA and just 2.1% proficient or better in Algebra I. In contrast, Alexander Batcho Intermediate School has a surprisingly high proficiency rate of 35.5% in Algebra I for the end-of-course exam, despite struggling academically in other areas.
All schools in the Manville School District have high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 16.6% to 60.98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The district's schools are consistently ranked in the bottom half of their respective categories, with Weston Elementary and Roosevelt School ranking in the bottom 15% of New Jersey elementary schools. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach to improve educational outcomes for the students in the Manville School District.
