Manville School District

The Manville School District in New Jersey consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. Based on the available data, the schools in this district are consistently underperforming compared to state-wide metrics, with low academic proficiency rates and high rates of chronic absenteeism.

Across the district, the student population is diverse, with a majority Hispanic enrollment and significant white and African American populations. However, a high percentage of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating socioeconomic challenges. Academically, the schools struggle, with proficiency rates well below state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, at Manville High School, only 31.5% of 9th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 52.1%. Similarly, the middle school (Alexander Batcho Intermediate School) and elementary schools (Weston Elementary School and Roosevelt School) all showed low proficiency rates across grade levels and subject areas.

The Manville School District as a whole is ranked 565 out of 615 school districts in New Jersey and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating a significant need for improvement in the district's educational programs and resources. The data suggests that the district may be facing systemic challenges, including potential imbalances in resource allocation, that are contributing to the consistently low academic performance across all schools in the district.
