Howell Township Public School District

Summary:

The Howell Township Public School District in New Jersey consists of 12 schools, including 10 elementary schools and 2 middle schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 334 out of 613 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Howell Township Middle School North has consistently ranked in the top half of New Jersey middle schools, maintaining a 3-star rating and strong test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Ramtown Elementary School and Ardena Elementary School have also performed well on state assessments, with higher proficiency rates in certain subjects compared to the district and state averages.

However, the district faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% across all schools, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, there is significant variation in academic performance among the elementary schools, with some struggling to meet proficiency standards in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The district's per-student spending also varies widely, from $8,377 at Taunton Elementary to $15,713 at Edith M. Griebling Elementary, but this does not appear to be directly correlated with academic performance.
