Summary

Middletown Village Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Middletown Township Public School District. With 439 students, the school consistently performs above the state and district averages in standardized test scores, particularly for its Hispanic and Special Education student subgroups.

Middletown Village Elementary School's academic performance is noteworthy, with 46.1% of 3rd graders, 72.4% of 4th graders, and 60% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts in the 2024-2025 school year. In mathematics, the school had 56.1% of 3rd graders, 63.8% of 4th graders, and 63.4% of 5th graders proficient or better, significantly higher than the Middletown Township Public School District and the state of New Jersey.
