Red Bank Charter School

The area has one school, Red Bank Charter School, an elementary school serving prekindergarten through grade 8, with 182 students. There are no other local schools in this list to compare. Results vary substantially by grade, but the clearest broad concern is math: the school’s grades 3–8 average was 27%, compared with 40% statewide, a gap of 14 points.

The strongest results are seventh-grade ELA, at 71%—16 points above the state—and Algebra I, at 70%, compared with 40% statewide, a 30-point advantage. Algebra I is a different measure from grade-level math, where the school was below the state in five of six grades. The largest shortfalls were in fourth-grade math (17% versus 47%, 30 points below) and sixth-grade math (11% versus 40%, 29 points below). Third grade was a bright spot in both ELA and math: each was 57%, respectively 9 and 8 points above the state. Only one school is listed, so these are differences among grades, not a ranking of local schools.

Recent trends are mixed: the school’s ELA average fell 4 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while the state average fell 3 points; the school’s math average slipped 1 point as the state average edged up, widening the school’s math gap by 2 points. Science improved: its two-grade average rose 9 points, and its gap with the state narrowed from 15 points to 5. SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 31st percentile in 2025–26, up 8 percentile points from 2023–24 but down 1 from the year before. As context, in 2024–25, 56% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible; the student-teacher ratio was 8.4. Chronic absenteeism was 6%, equal to the district figure and 9 points below the state’s 14%.
