Summary

Gregory Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Long Branch, New Jersey, serving 563 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Long Branch Public School District, which is ranked 584 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gregory Elementary School consistently performs below the state and district averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 7.8% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 14.5% in the district and 44.9% statewide. Similarly, in mathematics, only 10.6% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better, compared to 20.4% in the district and 49.8% statewide. The school also has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 14.9% to 28.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

While the nearby George L. Catrambone and A.A. Anastasia Elementary Schools within the same district perform significantly better on academic measures, Gregory Elementary School's high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, around 80%, suggest that socioeconomic factors may play a significant role in student outcomes. Addressing the underlying causes of chronic absenteeism and the district-level challenges that may be impacting the quality of education across all schools will be crucial in improving student performance at Gregory Elementary School.
