In brief

What Milmay’s schools are like

Holds up better next to similar towns

Against all New Jersey districts, Milmay beats only 16%. Against the 119 towns with similar household incomes, it beats 32%. Part of the low grade reflects local incomes rather than the schools alone. How it compares ↓

Graduation holds up better than test scores

Test scores run well below the state, but 87% of students still graduate on time. That’s only 4 points under the state average of 91%.

Which school depends on your street

With three elementary and two middle schools, the school a child attends depends on your address. After that, everyone goes to Buena Regional High School. Buena Vista sends its kids to all the same schools. See the path ↓

This summary is written from the data on this page. Test scores are from 2020–21, a pandemic year, so treat small gaps with caution.

How the School Grade works
  • Results, not inputs. Math and reading proficiency on New Jersey’s state tests against the state average, plus the four-year graduation rate. Spending and class size are shown but don’t count. Tests: 2020–21; graduation: class of 2020.
  • The whole path. A town’s grade follows its kids through every district that serves it, weighted by students tested. Tests count 60%, graduation 40%.
  • Graded within the state. Each state writes its own tests, so districts are compared with the rest of New Jersey only. A+ is the top 5%, A the next 10%, A− the next 10%, the B range the next 30%, the C range the next 30%, D the rest.
  • What a grade can’t tell you. Test results track family income, so we also compare towns with similar incomes. Visit, ask other parents, and read neighbor reviews. It’s our own summary of U.S. Department of Education data, not an official rating.
