Little Silver Boro School District

The two schools in Little Silver Boro School District, in Little Silver, serve students from prekindergarten through grade 8: Point Road School serves PK–4, and Markham Place School serves grades 5–8. In 2025–2026, both schools’ reported ELA and math results were well above state results for the same grades. The clearest takeaway is that both schools show strong results relative to the state, especially in math.

Point Road stands out in its reported elementary math results: grade 3 proficiency was 94%, 45 points above the state, and grade 4 was 82%, 35 points above. Markham Place stands out for middle-grade math, with results from 78% to 95% proficient and advantages of 32 to 61 points over the state across grades 5–8. Its grade 7 Algebra I result was a notable exception: 91% proficient, 2 points below the state. Both schools also had strong ELA averages: Point Road was 78%, 31 points above its matching state average, while Markham was 87%, 34 points above. Markham’s math advantage averaged 50 points, compared with 40 at Point Road. Because the schools serve different tested grades, their results do not support a fair overall ranking against each other.

ELA averages declined between the two years shown—by 8 points at each school—while math rose by about 1 point at both. Markham’s science average fell 16 points, from 59% to 43%, though it remained 20 points above the state average in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger ranks Point Road 50th of 1,331 statewide (96th percentile) and Markham 16th of 743 (98th percentile); both rank positions were lower than the prior year. Student-teacher ratios are 9.4 at Point Road and 7.9 at Markham. The reported free/reduced lunch eligible measures were 0.8% at Point Road in 2022–2023 and 0.9% at Markham in 2023–2024, so the different reporting years make them unsuitable for ranking the schools.
