Summary

Dr. William Mennies Elementary School is a public elementary school in Vineland, New Jersey, serving 563 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Vineland Public School District, which is ranked 548 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dr. William Mennies Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance is particularly low for male students, white students, and students with special needs, all of which have ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New Jersey elementary schools in recent years. However, the school's performance for African American and Hispanic students, as well as English Language Learners, is relatively better, ranking in the bottom 30-40% of schools. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels.

Interestingly, the nearby Pauline J. Petway Elementary School and John H. Winslow Elementary School, both part of the Vineland Public School District, generally outperform Dr. William Mennies Elementary School in academic achievement and student group performance. Additionally, the school's high rate of economic disadvantage, with 66.25% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to its overall academic underperformance compared to the state and nearby schools.
