Sea Girt Borough School District

The Sea Girt Borough School District has one school, Sea Girt Elementary School, serving students in prekindergarten through grade 8. In 2025–2026, the school’s average reported proficiency was 85% in ELA, 89% in Mathematics and 49% in Science, compared with New Jersey averages of 52%, 43% and 23%, respectively. The school’s clearest relative strength is Mathematics, where its average was 46 percentage points above the state average.

Across the reported grades, every 2025–2026 result was higher than the matching state result. The strongest score was 94% in grade 6 ELA, 43 points above the state; the lowest was 47% in grade 5 Science, still 20 points above the state. Mathematics was consistently high, ranging from 87% in grade 7 to 91% in grade 4. Results nevertheless varied by subject and grade: Science was lower than ELA and Mathematics overall, and grade 5 Science was the lowest reported subject-grade result.

Changes over time were mixed rather than uniformly positive. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the ELA average for grades 4–8 fell by 3 points, but the state average fell by 4, so the school’s advantage widened by about 1 point. For the grades with Mathematics results in both years, the school average rose by 10 points while the state average changed by less than 1 point; the school-state gap widened by 10 points. Exceptions include grade 5 Science, down 14 points, grade 8 Science, up 9 points, and both Algebra I results, down 10 points. SchoolDigger ranks the district 18th of 607 districts, in the 97th percentile with five stars; its school rank was 48th of 1,331 in 2025–2026, after ranking 32nd and 89th in the prior two years. Context measures include a student-teacher ratio of 6:1 in 2024–2025 and 2% eligible for free/reduced lunch in school year 2022–2023; chronic absenteeism was 5% in 2024–2025, 9 points below the state. Because there is only one school, families cannot compare schools within the district.
