Summary:
The Milltown School District in New Jersey consists of two schools: Joyce Kilmer School, a middle school, and Parkview School, an elementary school. While the schools have relatively average performance compared to state averages, there are some notable differences between them.
Academically, both schools struggle to meet state proficiency standards in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with Joyce Kilmer School's performance being particularly low in Math. However, the schools have relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, which could indicate strong student engagement. Interestingly, Parkview School receives significantly more funding per student than Joyce Kilmer School, but this higher funding does not seem to translate into significantly better academic outcomes.
In terms of student demographics, the schools have a predominantly white student population, with smaller percentages of other racial and ethnic groups represented. This lack of diversity may be an area for the Milltown School District to address. Overall, the data suggests that the Milltown School District has room for improvement in academic performance, particularly in ELA, and could benefit from examining the factors contributing to the funding discrepancy between the two schools.
