The data also reveals some interesting trends within the district. While the overall graduation and dropout rates are consistent across the high schools, there are notable differences in test scores and socioeconomic factors among the schools. Some schools, such as Ocean Avenue Elementary and Thorne Middle School, have higher free and reduced lunch rates and tend to perform lower on assessments compared to their more affluent counterparts. However, the data does not show a clear correlation between per-student spending and academic performance, suggesting that other factors may be at play in driving student success within the Middletown Township Public School District.
