Millburn / Short Hills School Information
Known as one of the best school districts in the state, nearly five
thousand students are served by the Millburn Township Public Schools.
Buildings include the Deerfield Elementary School, the Glenwood
Elementary School, the Hartshorn Elementary School, the South Mountain
Elementary School, the Wyoming Elementary School, the Millburn Middle
School, and the Millburn High School.
Because so many young families choose Short Hills real estate over other
towns in the area, the district is growing at a fairly rapid pace.
Committed to offering a challenging curriculum and serving the needs of
all students, their dedication has paid off in the last several years.
Milburn High School was named as one of the 100 Best US High Schools by
Newsweek and they recently received a Blue Ribbon Award of Excellence
from the US Department of Education. The Millburn Middle School has
consistently been named a Benchmark School of Excellence, and their
elementary schools are ranked among some of the highest on the state's
report card each year.
Private school options are available both in Millburn and in the
surrounding area.

How
Students Performed on State Reading and Math Tests
|
| These state test results show how
well students have mastered reading and math skills in
comparison to state standards. State test results alone
do not convey a complete picture of academic
achievement, and should be viewed with other performance
and demographic information. |

|
How
Students Performed on State Reading and Math Tests over
Time
|
| In addition to comparing student
performance on state tests to other comparison groups,
it is important to compare the district to itself over
time to understand the district's success in increasing
student achievement. |

How Students Performed
on College Entrance Exams (2008)
|
| College entrance exams give an
indication of the degree to which students are preparing
for college. Not all students participate in college
entrance exams, so scores should always be viewed in
combination with participation rates. |

Spending
Summary
|
| Examining spending allocations can
help shed light on a district's priorities. Operating
expenditures represent funds used for the day-to-day
operations of districts, whereas instructional
expenditures represent the subset of funds spent only on
activities dealing directly with teaching and the
classroom. |
|
|
|
Adult
Education Levels
|
| When reviewing a district's
performance, it is also important to learn about the
surrounding community, as there is often a relationship
between a community's income and education levels and
student performance. |
