Summary

Green Grove Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Neptune, New Jersey, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 294 students. The school is part of the Neptune Township School District, which is ranked 536 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a rating of 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Green Grove Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of New Jersey elementary schools, with a ranking between 1134-1288 out of around 1350 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessment) tests is significantly below the state and district averages, with only 13.2% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA and Math in 2024-2025, compared to 44.9% and 49.8% statewide, respectively. The school also struggles with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 14.9% to 26.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

While the nearby schools within the Neptune Township School District also perform poorly on academic measures, the nearby schools in the Township of Ocean School District and Wall Township Public School District significantly outperform Green Grove Elementary on academic measures, with much higher rankings and test scores. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average spending per student, these inputs do not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students.
