Now that some of the more objective facts are out of the way, here is my personal social commentary on the school/city in general. The culture of the high school is interesting to say the least. Downtown Millville (3rd Street area) is pretty much like Detroit or Camden, and the outskirts of the city (Maurice River / Laurel Lake area) could pretty much be Alabama or the Deep South. It wouldn't be an unlikely occurrence to see a cigarette chain-smoking, Confederate flag-toting, pick-up truck driving redneck pull up next to a Glock 9 packing, drug-slinging, Meek Mill wannabe rapping gang member. While these are the two extreme ends of the spectrum, the majority of the population consists of your typical Under Armour hoodie-wearing, video-game playing, middle-class white suburban Philadelphia sports aficionados (Go Birds).
The school does boast promising sports potential - most famously, 2-time American MVP League and possible MLB GOAT contender Mike Trout. The football team is a force to be reckoned with, and it would be even better if St. Augustine Prep didn't poach half of Millville's talent every year. Same thing goes for the basketball team. Hopefully the well-run sports program will continue to execute on its promising talent pool. Notable alumni include Ed Shockley (2014, Dallas Cowboys), Buddy Kennedy (2017, Arizona Diamondbacks), and Ryquell Armstead (2015, Jacksonville Jaguars).

I strongly disagree with the decision for high school athletes to pick their college based on if they can play a D-III or D-II sport at the college they choose to attend. I think there is too much of a focus on committing to schools based on sports, and while this isn't always pursued in vain, I think there needs to be a higher emphasis placed on attending a college that most closely aligns with possible career ambitions. The reality is that it is highly unlikely to go pro from a D-III or D-II school (even D-I for that matter), and while it is unlikely that most high-schoolers will know what they want to do with the rest of their life, it is better to pursue a college based on how strong it is in certain areas (business, engineering) and how economically feasible it is to attend (Rowan, Rutgers, CCC).
The outlook of Millville has the potential to be bright. The New Jersey Schools Development Authority (SDA) has recently commenced a $114.5 million expansion of the school. The new infrastructure will help the school accommodate around 2,000 students and will include new science labs, music rooms, cafeterias, and gyms. Expected to be completed by 2022, this gives Millville a promising glimmer of hope to become a greater New Jersey school similar to its North Jersey counterparts. This, coupled with a stronger focus and resource allocation towards AP classes and SAT test prep could drastically improve the school's trajectory towards greatness. Hopefully that day comes soon.

Get the mudville mug.“Illville” Millville aka “The Holly City” is a small crappy hick town just south of Vineland in Southern New Jersey. Millville is known for its art district, which draws no crowds or tourists to the city and is just an expensive “only for show” program on a dirt poor municipal budget where any wanna-be artist with no real ambition or talent can stick his ego-hungry erection into this public cock pocket for a little attention.
Millville is the only place where you can live on Section 8 and work at the local Wal-Mart and still have a new Dodge Intrepid parked in front of your raggedy ass apartment. Millville is the only city in South Jersey where the Ku Klux Klan can have a rally and even the white folks boo them for not being “diverse enough” in their bias, hateful ignorance.
Millville shares a slanted, fucked up board line with Vineland, so if your residence or company is located on that board line, you’re going to pay two separate bills from two different electric companies. Jobs in Millville are about as decent as scraping clay chunks of feces from the walls of a septic tank. Millville is the paper cup that every groom’s man brushes their teeth and spits into.
