Summary:
The Brick Township Public School District in New Jersey operates 8 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the district as a whole is ranked 383 out of 609 in the state and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, there are significant performance differences among the individual schools.
The top-performing elementary schools in the district are Midstreams Elementary School, Drum Point Road Elementary School, and Osbornville Elementary School. These schools stand out with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages, as well as better statewide rankings. For example, in 2024-2025, 62.7% of 5th graders at Midstreams Elementary were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 48% for the district and 52.7% for the state.
However, the district faces some challenges, including a consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% across all schools, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the free and reduced lunch rates vary widely among the schools, suggesting differences in the socioeconomic backgrounds of the student populations, which could be a factor in the performance disparities observed. Understanding how resources are distributed and their impact on student outcomes could provide valuable insights for the district to address these challenges and improve educational outcomes for all students.
