Summary

Sea Girt Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the small coastal town of Sea Girt, New Jersey. With just 138 students, it is a relatively small school within the highly-ranked Sea Girt Borough School District, which is ranked 19th out of 609 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has consistently been ranked among the top elementary schools in New Jersey, currently holding the 89th spot out of 1,347 elementary schools statewide.

Sea Girt Elementary School stands out for its exceptional academic performance, consistently outperforming state and district averages on standardized tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, over 80% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of around 50%. In mathematics, the school had proficiency rates of 68.8% or higher, significantly higher than the state's 40-50% range. Additionally, the school has maintained relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 2.7% to 16.6% in recent years, compared to the state average of around 15%.

When compared to nearby schools, such as G. Harold Antrim Elementary School in Point Pleasant Beach, Sea Girt Elementary stands out as a high-performing outlier. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.2 to 5.7 students per teacher, suggests it is able to allocate significant resources towards individual student support and attention, which may contribute to its academic success. However, the school's very low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, around 2% in recent years, indicates it serves a relatively affluent community, raising questions about equity and access to quality education for students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds.
