Summary:

Lincroft, New Jersey, has two schools in the supplied data: Lincroft Elementary School, serving kindergarten through grade 5, and High Technology High School, serving grades 9–12; no middle school is listed. Because the schools serve different grade spans, their scores do not support a fair overall ranking. The clearest finding is that both schools show strengths against state results, with High Technology above the state on every reported test and Lincroft Elementary’s strongest advantage in mathematics.

High Technology stands out most against the state: in 2025–2026, its 11th-grade science result was 99%, compared with 29% statewide, and its 9th-grade ELA result was 100%, versus 51% statewide. It was also ahead by 39 percentage points in Geometry and 27 points in Algebra II. Lincroft Elementary stood out in 3rd-grade math, with 79% proficient compared with 49% statewide; its average advantage across the three tested grades was 20 points in math and 9 points in ELA. Its relative weak spot was 5th-grade science, about 1 point below the state. SchoolDigger ranked High Technology 15th of 434 New Jersey schools, in the 97th percentile, and Lincroft Elementary 420th of 1,331, in the 68th percentile.

Recent results were mixed rather than uniformly rising. At Lincroft Elementary, ELA increased 15 points in 3rd grade but fell 10 points in 4th and 6 points in 5th; math rose 2 points in 3rd and 3 points in 5th, while falling 8 points in 4th. High Technology’s Geometry score rose 18 points from the prior year, while Algebra II fell 19 points, even as its lead over the state widened. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking for Lincroft Elementary declined from 74th in 2023–2024 to 68th in 2025–2026; High Technology moved from 90th to 97th between the last two years. In 2024–2025, student-teacher ratios were 12.5 at Lincroft Elementary and 13.8 at High Technology; both reported about 3% free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was 6% and 0%, respectively, compared with 14% statewide.
