Summary:
The city of Bradley Beach, New Jersey, has a single public school, the Bradley Beach Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 196 students. The school's academic performance has been inconsistent, with fluctuating statewide rankings and mixed results on standardized tests across grade levels and subject areas.
While the school's small size and low student-teacher ratio of 5.7 could be potential strengths, it faces challenges related to its high poverty rate, with 60.71% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $15,320. Over the past few years, the school's statewide ranking has declined, dropping from 631 out of 1,342 New Jersey elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 858 out of 1,338 in 2023-2024, indicating a need for improvement in its overall performance and competitiveness.
The Bradley Beach School District consists of only the Bradley Beach Elementary School, and the district's focus should be on addressing the school's inconsistent academic performance, implementing strategies to support its high-poverty student population, and working to improve the school's statewide ranking and overall competitiveness.
