Summary

Asbury Park High School is a public high school in Asbury Park, New Jersey, serving 370 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Asbury Park School District, which is ranked 595 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Asbury Park High School faces significant challenges in academic performance, graduation rates, and student attendance. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New Jersey high schools, with only 10.9% of 9th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 13.6% proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to state averages of 49.9% and 38.2%, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate ranges from 72.3% to 91.3%, lower than the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate is high, ranging from 14.9% to 30.9% over the past two years. In comparison, nearby high schools like Shore Regional High School, Communications High School, and Monmouth County Academy of Allied Health and Science have higher academic achievement, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism.

The challenges facing Asbury Park High School appear to be systemic issues within the broader Asbury Park School District, which may require comprehensive reforms and interventions to address. The school's high-poverty student population, with 39.73% to 47.14% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggests that additional funding and resources have not translated into improved student outcomes. Addressing these issues and ensuring equity for all students will be crucial for the school's future success.
