Summary:
The Millstone Township School District in New Jersey is home to two high-performing schools: Millstone Township Primary School and Millstone Township Middle School. Both schools are ranked highly within the state, with the primary school earning a 4-out-of-5-star rating and the middle school consistently improving its statewide ranking over the past three years.
Academically, the Millstone Township schools excel, with students outperforming the state average on NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessment) tests across all grade levels and subject areas. In 2022-2023, the middle school's proficiency rates ranged from 22.5% in 8th-grade Mathematics to 73.7% in 8th-grade Algebra I, all of which were higher than the state averages. However, the primary school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 25.1% compared to the middle school's 18.9%, which is an area that warrants further investigation.
The schools' student populations are relatively homogeneous, with a high percentage of white students and low percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This demographic composition may indicate a need to explore strategies to promote greater diversity and inclusion. Additionally, the middle school has a higher per-student spending of $13,011 compared to the primary school's $6,861, which could reflect different resource allocation priorities within the Millstone Township School District.
