Summary

Toms River Intermediate School South serves 1,044 students in grades 6–8 in Beachwood, as part of the Toms River Regional School District. Its latest results show a clear bright spot in accelerated Algebra I, but regular math is a major concern: the school’s grades 6–8 average was 17%, and eighth-grade math proficiency was just 10%.

Accelerated Algebra I is South’s strongest comparison with its district and the state: 66% of test takers were proficient, compared with 34% districtwide and 40% statewide. But the results at nearby schools with reported scores ranged from 70% at Toms River Intermediate School North to 97% at Russell O. Brackman Middle School. In regular math, South averaged 17%, below the district’s 27%, the state’s 34%, and the 31% average for six nearby schools serving grades 6–8. ELA is less weak, but South’s 40% average still trailed the district’s 44%, the state’s 53%, and nearby peers’ 47%. Eighth-grade science was also low at 10%, versus 12% for the district, 19% statewide, and 14% at nearby schools.

South’s results and standing have weakened over time: its math average slipped from 18% in 2022–2023 to 17% in 2025–2026, while the state average rose from 29% to 34%. SchoolDigger puts South at the 28th percentile, with one star and a rank of 536 out of 743; its percentile was 41 in 2022–2023. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves students in the low-socioeconomic-status category fell from the 35th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 14th in 2025–2026. Its measure for White students was at the 7th percentile, compared with 28th overall. For context, 50% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and the student–teacher ratio was 12.6 in that year.
