Summary
Brick Township Memorial High School serves grades 9–12 in Brick, a coastal community in Ocean County, and enrolls 1,269 students. Its most striking concern is the sharp reversal in Geometry: ninth-grade proficiency fell from 81% in 2024–2025 to 41% in 2025–2026, a 40-point drop, leaving the latest result 9 points below the state.
The school’s clearest academic bright spot is ninth-grade English Language Arts (ELA): 55% proficient, compared with 51% statewide and 51% in the Brick Township Public School District, though 5 points below the nearby-school average. Results are weaker in several math and science measures. Algebra I End of Course was 26%, below the state’s 40%, the district’s 36% and the nearby average of 35%. On 11th-grade NJGPA mathematics, Memorial scored 52%, compared with 61% statewide and a nearby-school average of 68%. Science proficiency was 20%, 9 points below the state and equal to the district. Ninth-grade Algebra I is a more positive exception: 26%, above the state’s 22% and the district’s 21%, but below the nearby average of 37%.
Longer-term results are mixed: ninth-grade ELA rose 4 points from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, improving its position from 8 points below the state to 3 points above, while science rose 3 points but remains 9 points below the state. For 2025–2026, SchoolDigger places Memorial at the 42nd percentile statewide, ranked 250 of 434 schools, with 2 stars; it ranks eighth among the 10 schools in the comparison group. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 13.6, higher than the nearby-school average of about 11, and 36% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness measure places English Language Learner students at the 20th percentile, compared with the school’s overall 42nd; its Special Education Students ranking rose from the 19th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 49th in 2025–2026.
