Summary:
Ventnor City School District has two schools serving pre-K through grade 8: Ventnor Elementary (318 students, pre-K–4) and Ventnor Middle (176 students, grades 5–8). The strongest overall finding is that both schools generally outperform state results in tested subjects, with grade 8 mathematics at the middle school the notable exception.
Ventnor Middle stands out for ELA: its 2025–2026 grade 8 result was 81% proficient, 28 points above the state, and its results were above state levels in all four tested grades. Its grade 8 Algebra I result was also strong at 92%, compared with 75% statewide. The main weakness was grade 8 mathematics, where 14% were proficient, 9 points below the state; the other middle-school math grades were above state results. Ventnor Elementary exceeded state results in both tested grades for ELA and math. Across grades 3–4, its averages were 65% in ELA and 63% in math, compared with state averages of 47% and 48%. Because the schools serve different grades, these figures do not establish a like-for-like ranking between them.
Results improved broadly, and SchoolDigger rankings rose from the 67th to the 75th percentile for Ventnor Elementary and from the 67th to the 79th percentile for Ventnor Middle. Across the same 14 grade-and-subject comparisons, the average school advantage over the state grew from 8 to 15 points. Most results rose year over year, though elementary grade 4 math fell by 3 points, and middle-school grade 8 math remained below the state. For 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible was 46% at Elementary and 53% at Middle; student-teacher ratios were 8.8 and 5.3, respectively. Chronic absenteeism was 17% at Elementary, above the district’s 15% and state’s 14%, while Middle’s 13% was below both.
