Millville Public Charter School

Millville Public Charter School is the sole school serving grades K-8 in the Millville, New Jersey area. With a total enrollment of 310 students, the school has a diverse student population that is predominantly African American (48.71%) and Hispanic (35.81%), and a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students (28.71% receive free or reduced-price lunch).

Despite the school's diverse student body, Millville Public Charter School is struggling academically, with proficiency rates on the NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessments) that are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. In English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rates range from 7.5% in grade 3 to 48.1% in grade 8, compared to the state averages of 42% to 55.7%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates range from 0% in grade 7 to 20% in grade 4, compared to the state averages of 33.8% to 45.9%. The school's Science proficiency rates are also well below the state averages.

In addition to the academic challenges, Millville Public Charter School also faces high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 39.8% for the 2021-2022 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. This high rate of absenteeism is likely a contributing factor to the school's poor academic performance and suggests that the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by its student population.
