Summary:
The Milltown School District in New Jersey is home to two schools: Joyce Kilmer School, a middle school, and Parkview School, an elementary school. While the schools have some differences in performance and metrics, they both demonstrate areas of strength and potential for improvement.
Joyce Kilmer School stands out for its strong performance in Algebra I, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's overall ranking among New Jersey middle schools is in the middle of the pack. In contrast, Parkview School has shown impressive math proficiency, with 63% of 3rd graders scoring proficient or better on the NJSLA Math assessment, compared to the state average of 47.6%.
Both schools face challenges with relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, which is an area of concern for the Milltown School District. Additionally, the significant difference in spending per student between the two schools, with Parkview School spending $10,823 per student compared to $7,516 per student at Joyce Kilmer School, is noteworthy and may warrant further investigation.
