SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,331 New Jersey Elementary Schools

Better than 20% of New Jersey elementary schools

Summary

A A Anastasia Elementary School serves 588 students in grades K–5 in Long Branch, New Jersey. Its 2025–26 test results show a clear divide: the school is ahead of the Long Branch district, but its proficiency rates remain well below New Jersey’s. Across grades 3–5, about 27% of students were proficient in ELA and 33% in math, compared with state averages of about 49% and 47%. The most important takeaway is that doing better than the district does not mean the school has closed the substantial gap with the state.

Math is the school’s strongest subject relative to both the district and state, while ELA has its widest state gap. The school’s grade 3–5 averages were about 6 points above the district in math and 3 points above in ELA; grade 5 science was about 2 points above the district. Nearby comparisons show a higher local benchmark: Monmouth Beach Elementary School averaged about 70% in ELA and 69% in math, well above Anastasia’s results. Within the district, Anastasia generally outperformed George L Catrambone and Gregory Elementary School in tested grades, particularly in math. Grade 5 is the school’s strongest tested grade, while grade 3 is generally its weakest.

Math has shown the clearest recent progress: its average rose 7 percentage points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, while ELA rose 4 points overall but slipped from the prior year. Chronic absenteeism also improved, falling from 23% in 2020–21 to 11% in 2024–25, below both the district and state rates that year. SchoolDigger ranks the school 1,071st of 1,331 New Jersey schools, at the 20th percentile with 1 star. In 2024–25, its student-teacher ratio was 9.9, and 81% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings differ from its overall standing: its ranking for English Language Learner Students was at the 44th percentile, while its ranking for White Students was at the 3rd percentile; these are measures of how well the school serves each group.
