Millville School District

The Millville School District in New Jersey consists of 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, serving students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. The district faces significant challenges in academic performance, with most schools scoring well below state averages on standardized assessments, particularly in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Among the standout schools in the district, Silver Run Elementary School stands out with the lowest student-teacher ratio (8.4) and the highest chronic absenteeism rate (35.6%) among the elementary schools. Rieck Avenue Elementary School and Mount Pleasant Elementary School show relatively higher academic proficiency rates compared to their peers. At the secondary level, Lakeside Middle School has the highest Algebra I proficiency rate (44.2%), while Memorial High School has a unique student demographic, with 83.33% of its students being African American and 16.67% Hispanic.

The district-wide data reveals significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.38% at Mount Pleasant Elementary to 90.63% at Silver Run Elementary. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to the academic performance gaps and high chronic absenteeism rates observed across the district.
