Summary

Asbury Park High School serves 379 students in grades 9–12 in Asbury Park, New Jersey. The most concerning finding is that proficiency is low across the current tests: results are below the state and every nearby school with a reported score in the comparable subjects, including 9th-grade ELA, Algebra I, 11th-grade ELA and math, and science.

There is no clear current academic strength against nearby schools, though 9th-grade Algebra I is the school’s closest result to the state: 6.4% proficient, compared with 22.2% statewide and 6.2% in the district. It is still below nearby schools’ reported results of 10.0%–95.6%. In 9th-grade ELA, 17.1% were proficient, versus 51.4% statewide; nearby results ranged from 30.1% to 100%. The 11th-grade results also trail nearby schools: 46.4% in ELA, 22.2% in math, and 1.2% in science. Graduation and attendance add to the concern: the graduation rate was 67% in 2024–2025, compared with 89% statewide, and chronic absenteeism was 33%, versus 14% statewide.

Results have not shown sustained improvement relative to the state: 9th-grade ELA fell from 40% in 2023–2024 to 17% in 2025–2026, while its gap with the state widened from 18 points to 34 points. SchoolDigger ranks the school 415th of 434 New Jersey high schools, at the 4th percentile with 0 stars, down from the 18th percentile the year before; nearby schools with rank histories range from the 16th to the 96th percentile. One relative bright spot in SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings is English Language Learner Students: the group ranked at the 25th percentile in 2025–2026, compared with the school’s 4th-percentile overall ranking, after reaching the 73rd percentile the previous year. Special Education Students’ ranking fell from the 50th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 0th in 2025–2026. The student-teacher ratio was 11.6 in 2024–2025, and 68% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; these figures provide context, not explanations for results. Nearby schools vary in size and programs, so comparisons are not necessarily like for like.
