Westville School District

What Westville School District does

Westville School District is a public elementary school district located at 101 Birch Avenue in Westville, New Jersey (Gloucester County), serving approximately 375 students enrolled in Preschool through 6th grade. The district operates a single school, Parkview Elementary School (the "Panthers"), within a residential community of roughly 4,500 residents. Upon completing 6th grade, Westville students feed into Gateway Regional High School in Woodbury Heights. The district is governed by an elected Westville Board of Education (Robert Miller, President) and led by Superintendent Dr. Shannon M. Whalen and Principal Brian Dericks, who also serves as HIB Coordinator and Title I contact.

The district's core offering is a free, publicly funded K-6 education aligned to the New Jersey Student Learning Standards, featuring a Balanced Literacy approach, a daily Response-to-Intervention block, and integrated social-emotional learning. Its technology stack is built on Google Workspace for Education, a 1:1 Chromebook initiative for K-6, the Clever single-sign-on portal aggregating 12+ learning platforms (Into Math, Benchmark Literacy, Learning Ally, Newsela, Reflex Math, Frax, Nearpod, etc.), the OnCourse Connect student information system, and ClassDojo for parent communication. Special education and food services are delivered through a shared-services partnership with the Gateway Regional Board of Education, and wraparound supports come via the Child Connection Center (Clayton Model SEL), Evergreen Family Success Center, Food Bank of South Jersey, and Rowan University Center for Behavior Analysis.

Westville School District is a New Jersey government state entity and non-profit, not a commercial enterprise. It is funded through local property taxes, state aid from the NJ Department of Education, and federal grants (including Title I). The district charges no tuition; ancillary revenue is limited to optional cafeteria fees collected via MySchoolBucks (with free/reduced meal programs based on income eligibility) and fundraising through the Home and School Association. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and revenue figures are not reported. There is no parent company, no private equity ownership, and no M&A activity; the district is accountable to the public through its elected board.
