Manville School District

The Manville School District in New Jersey consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. Overall, the district appears to be underperforming, with all schools ranking in the bottom half or bottom quarter of their respective school types in the state.

None of the schools in the district stand out as high-performing. Manville High School has the highest graduation rate at 91.1%, but its test scores are significantly lower than the state average. The middle school, Alexander Batcho Intermediate, has the lowest test scores in the district, with proficiency rates ranging from 1.1% to 35.5%. The two elementary schools, Weston Elementary and Roosevelt School, also struggle academically, with proficiency rates well below the state averages.

The district faces several challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism (16.6% across all schools), a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population (with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 47.5% to 60.98%), and significant disparities in per-student spending between the high school and the middle/elementary schools. Addressing these systemic issues and implementing comprehensive improvement strategies should be the top priorities for the Manville School District to provide a high-quality education for all students.
