574^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 743 New Jersey Middle Schools

Better than 23% of New Jersey middle schools

Summary

Alexander Batcho Intermediate School serves 510 students in grades 5–8 in Manville, New Jersey. Its 2025–26 core-subject results are generally below state results, although they have improved from recent lows. Mathematics is the most urgent academic concern: proficiency averaged 18% across grades 5–8, compared with 37% statewide, and was especially low in grade 7 at 11% and grade 8 at 5%.

Compared with the Manville School District, the school’s grade-level math results were essentially level, but they trailed grade-matched nearby-school averages in every grade. Its end-of-course results offer a counterpoint: Algebra I proficiency was 54%, 14 points above the state and 43 points above the district; Geometry was 64%, 12 points above the state and 40 points above the district. However, nearby Algebra I results were higher at Von E. Mauger Middle School (88%) and Community Middle School (73%). Science is closer to the state than the school’s other core subjects, with a 15% school average versus 23% statewide; ELA averaged 40%, compared with 53% statewide.

Recent averages are improving, but gaps remain: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose 7 points and math rose 9 points, while math remained 19 points below the state. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 23rd percentile in New Jersey for 2025–26, with 1 star; its ranking has rebounded from the 8th percentile in 2023–24 but remains below the nearby schools with reported rankings. One notable bright spot is SchoolDigger’s Special Education Students ranking: the school reached the 43rd percentile in 2025–26, up from the 12th percentile in 2023–24 and above its overall 23rd-percentile standing. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 10.6, near the nearby average of 10.0; 67% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism also warrants attention: it rose 2 points to 16% in 2024–25, above the state’s 14%.
