Summary:
The Union Beach Public School District in New Jersey is home to a single elementary school, Memorial School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school's performance has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 674 out of 1,347 New Jersey elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 874 out of 1,342 in 2022-2023.
Memorial School's academic performance on the NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessments) tests is mixed, with the school outperforming the state average in some grade levels and subjects, such as 3rd grade ELA, but significantly underperforming in others, particularly in 8th grade mathematics. The school serves a population with a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 37.95% in the 2023-2024 school year, and maintains a student-teacher ratio of 11.4 to 1.
While Memorial School's per-student spending of $13,079 for the 2018-2019 school year appears to be in line with or slightly above the state average, the school's declining statewide ranking and uneven academic performance suggest that there may be areas for improvement in the school's curriculum, instructional practices, and resource allocation to better support the needs of its diverse student population.
