Summary

Alexander Batcho Intermediate School is a public middle school serving 491 students in grades 5-8 in Manville, New Jersey, which is part of the Manville School District. The school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of New Jersey middle schools in academic performance.

On state assessments, the school's proficiency rates are well below state averages, with only 23.8% of 5th graders proficient in ELA and 0% of 8th graders proficient in math in 2024-2025. The school also has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, at 63.34%, and struggles with chronic absenteeism. In comparison, nearby schools like Eisenhower Intermediate School and Hillsborough Township Middle School generally outperform Alexander Batcho Intermediate School on academic measures.

Within the school, the performance of student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, is particularly concerning, with rankings in the bottom half of the state. This indicates that the school may need to focus on addressing achievement gaps and providing targeted support for these underperforming populations. Additionally, the school's mixed performance on Algebra I assessments suggests that while progress is being made in preparing students for advanced math, more work is needed to ensure consistent performance across grade levels.
