Summary

R. M. Bacon Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Millville, New Jersey, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade with a total enrollment of 270 students.

Academically, only 17.4% of 3rd graders, 17.4% of 4th graders, and 6.8% of 5th graders at R. M. Bacon Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 44.9%, 53.6%, and 52.7%, respectively.
