Among nearby elementary schools with current data, these are the lowest: Southampton Road (40.15% ELA, 46.67% math), Paper Mill (34.56%, 38.06%), Highland (40.19%, 55.66%), William P. Sapelli Elementary (40.95%, 48.08%), Tatham (46.10%, 52.48%), John R Fausey (41.39%, 53.48%), Powder Mill School (40.11%, 36.81%) and Clifford M Granger (46.72%, 49.64%) all score higher. Woodland School has no current scores in this data. Munger Hill's math proficiency is more than 10 points below the next-lowest nearby school.
Grade-level results show particular weakness in 4th grade and in math: 3rd-grade ELA 35.56%, 4th-grade ELA 21.43%, 3rd-grade math 27.27%, and 4th-grade math 25.00% — all below district and state. Effectiveness ranks for special education students (681st of 709) and low-income students (689th of 742) are in the bottom 10% statewide with 0 stars. The school has declined over time, from the 63rd percentile in 2016–2017 to 22nd today. Yet its student-teacher ratio (10.5) is lower than most neighbors and per-student spending ($15,390) is mid-range, suggesting the challenge isn't class size or total resources but instructional quality and student supports. Grade spans differ slightly — Munger Hill is PK–4 while some neighbors are K–5 or 3–6 — but the grade 3 and 4 comparisons reinforce the same pattern.
