Summary

Bradley Beach Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Bradley Beach School District in New Jersey, with 196 students enrolled.

The school faces several challenges, including low student achievement, with students generally performing below the state average on NJSLA assessments across all grades and subjects, particularly in mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, only 26.7% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 44.9%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 8.3% to 16.6% in recent years, which is notably higher than the state average.
