Alexander Batcho Intermediate School

Summary:

Alexander Batcho Intermediate School is a public middle school serving 485 students in grades 5-8 in Manville, New Jersey, which is part of the Manville School District. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high rates of chronic absenteeism, and a student population that is predominantly Hispanic and from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to the state averages, Alexander Batcho Intermediate School has much lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with its Hispanic, White, and Special Education student subgroups performing particularly poorly. The school's academic performance is also significantly lower than nearby middle schools, such as those in the Bridgewater-Raritan Regional School District and Hillsborough Township Public School District. Additionally, the school has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.3% in 2017-2018 to 15.2% in 2021-2022, which is much higher than the state average.

The school's challenges may be attributed to its high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, as well as its location within a lower-performing school district. Addressing these underlying issues, such as providing targeted support and resources for the school's underperforming subgroups, will be crucial in improving the overall academic performance and student engagement at Alexander Batcho Intermediate School.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
