Summary

Neptune High School is a public high school serving 1,102 students in grades 9-12 in Neptune, New Jersey. The school is part of the Neptune Township School District, which is ranked 536 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Neptune High School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New Jersey high schools, with a 1-star rating indicating significantly below-average academic performance. The school struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, with subgroups like African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students all performing in the bottom quartile or bottom 10-20% of schools statewide. Neptune High's graduation rates have fluctuated between 79.2% and 91.3% in recent years, below the state average, and the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 14.9% to 37.0%.

When compared to nearby high-performing schools like Shore Regional High School, Ocean Township High School, and the Monmouth County vocational schools, Neptune High School stands out as the lowest-performing in the region. The school's per-student spending of $11,210 in 2018-2019 is also lower than the state average, which may contribute to the challenges in providing adequate resources and support for its students.
