Summary:
The Point Pleasant Beach School District in New Jersey is home to a single high school, Point Pleasant Beach High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has maintained a relatively consistent performance over the years, with a strong 91.3% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.0% dropout rate, both of which exceed state averages.
Academically, Point Pleasant Beach High School's performance is mixed. While the school excels in areas like student-teacher ratio and spending per student, its proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the state averages. For instance, only 47% of 9th-grade students are proficient or better in ELA, and just 21.7% and 25% of students are proficient or better in Algebra I and Geometry, respectively. The school's 11th-grade science proficiency rate of 25.3% also falls short of the state benchmark.
Despite these academic challenges, Point Pleasant Beach High School benefits from a relatively affluent student population, with only 10.74% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is lower than the state average. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's higher spending per student and lower chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%. Overall, while Point Pleasant Beach High School has some areas of strength, there are opportunities for improvement, particularly in core academic subjects, to better align with state-level performance standards.
