Summary:

The Middletown Township Public School District in New Jersey is home to 11 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 207 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out as top performers. Navesink Elementary School consistently ranks among the best in New Jersey, with a statewide ranking of 63 out of 1,338 schools and exceptional test scores.

Additionally, the district faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, which warrants further investigation and targeted interventions.
