Summary

Bradley Beach Elementary School serves 193 students in grades PK–8 in Bradley Beach, New Jersey. Its 2025–26 results show meaningful differences by grade: seventh grade is a relative bright spot, while eighth-grade math is a clear concern. Across grades 3–8, an average of 30% of students were proficient in math, compared with 40% statewide; the most important finding is that math—especially in eighth grade—is the school’s clearest academic weakness.

ELA is closer to the state average than math or science, but remains slightly below it overall: the grades 3–8 average was 50%, versus 51% statewide. Seventh-grade ELA was stronger, with 64% proficient compared with 56% statewide, and seventh-grade math was also above the state. Eighth-grade math, by contrast, was 0%, versus 23% statewide. Nearby results vary: Bradley Beach’s grade-5 math proficiency was 30%, compared with 71% at Belmar Elementary. Science averaged 15%, against 23% statewide, with grade 8 much weaker than grade 5. The Bradley Beach School District has the same test results as the school, so it is not a separate achievement comparison.

Over time, ELA’s earlier advantage over the state has faded: the school’s average fell from 60% in 2022–23 to 50% in 2025–26, while the state average was about 51% in both years. Math was nearly flat over those endpoints, but the school’s gap from the state widened from 5 to 9 points. SchoolDigger ranks the school 814th of 1,331 statewide, at the 39th percentile with 2 stars; nearby schools span the 2nd to 90th percentiles. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 6.4, among the lowest in the local group, and 65% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup result is the Hispanic Students ranking: the school was at the 15th percentile in 2025–26, down from the 58th percentile the previous year.
