Summary:
The Manville School District in New Jersey operates two elementary schools: Weston Elementary School and Roosevelt School. Both schools serve students from kindergarten through 4th grade and face significant challenges, performing well below state averages on key metrics.
Neither Weston Elementary nor Roosevelt School stand out as high-performing schools. Weston Elementary is ranked 1,008 out of 1,353 New Jersey elementary schools, while Roosevelt School is ranked 985 out of 1,347. Both schools are rated just 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The Manville School District as a whole is ranked 523 out of 609 in the state and also has a 1-star rating. Both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates of 14.9%, well above the state average, and a large percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
Academically, Weston Elementary and Roosevelt School perform significantly below state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency on the NJSLA assessments. For example, in 2024-2025, Roosevelt School's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was just 33%, compared to the state average of 44.9%. Despite relatively low student-teacher ratios, the schools continue to struggle, suggesting the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and spending priorities to better support student learning and address the persistent challenges facing the community.
