Summary:

The Island Heights School District in New Jersey is home to a single standout elementary school, Island Heights Elementary School. This school consistently ranks among the top 22% of elementary schools in the state, maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years.

Island Heights Elementary School's academic performance is particularly impressive, with students scoring significantly above the state average on the NJSLA assessments in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. The school's low chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% and low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (2.22%) suggest a stable and engaged student population. The school's spending per student of $14,138 is higher than the state average, which may contribute to its academic success.

While the school's overall performance is excellent, there is one area that could use improvement: the relatively low proficiency rate in 5th-grade science (29.4%) compared to the state average (30.1%). Nevertheless, Island Heights Elementary School remains a shining example of academic excellence within the Island Heights School District and the state of New Jersey.
