Summary

Ocean Road Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 481 students in grades PK-5 in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey. The school is part of the Point Pleasant Borough School District, which is ranked 232 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Ocean Road Elementary School has some bright spots, such as strong performance for Hispanic and English Language Learner students, the school has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in standardized test scores across grades 3-5 in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 36.9% compared to the district's 49.8% and the state's 44.9%. Additionally, Ocean Road Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.8% in 2021-2022 to 16.6% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district and state averages.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Nellie F. Bennett Elementary School, which is also in the Point Pleasant Borough School District, Ocean Road Elementary appears to be underperforming. Nellie F. Bennett consistently outperforms Ocean Road in standardized test scores and has a lower chronic absenteeism rate. Despite Ocean Road Elementary's higher spending per student ($11,627 in 2018-2019) and relatively low student-teacher ratio, these resources do not seem to be translating into better student outcomes. The school's significant disparities in performance between subgroups, such as the strong performance of Hispanic and ELL students compared to the struggles of White and Special Education students, warrant further investigation to understand the underlying factors.
