The middle school, Alexander Batcho Intermediate School, also performs poorly, ranking in the bottom 10% of New Jersey middle schools and receiving a 0-star rating.
The two elementary schools, Weston Elementary School and Roosevelt School, show similar patterns of underperformance, with 1-star and 0-star ratings, respectively, and low proficiency rates in ELA and Math. All schools in the area struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.6% to 16.6%, which can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes.
The schools in the Manville School District also have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community. While the high school and elementary schools spend more per student than the middle school, the overall lack of improvement in the schools' performance over time suggests a need for more effective interventions and support to address the educational challenges faced by students in this area.
