Millington Elementary School

Summary:

Millington Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 2-5 in Millington, New Jersey, part of the Long Hill Township School District. With 352 students, the school has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking among the top 15-25% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past decade.

Millington Elementary School's key strength is its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the state average in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) ranged from 64.5% to 66.6%, compared to the state average of 43.6% to 52.3%. Similarly, in Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 55.7% to 72.1%, compared to the state average of 40.1% to 47.6%. However, the school's performance for its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroups is more average, ranking in the middle 50% of schools, suggesting a need for targeted interventions.

Despite its lower spending per student of $7,775 compared to nearby schools in the Bernards Township and Warren Township school districts, which spend between $8,877 and $18,115 per student, Millington Elementary School is able to achieve strong academic outcomes. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.3% in 2020-2021 to 16.6% in 2022-2023, an area of concern that the school and district should address.

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.
