Summary

Toms River Intermediate School East serves grades 6–8 in Toms River, New Jersey, and enrolls 1,271 students—the largest enrollment among the 10 nearby schools in this comparison. Its clearest strength is advanced math: in 2025–2026, 84% of students were proficient on the Algebra I end-of-course test and 100% on Geometry, well above state and district results.

Compared with nearby schools, East’s results are mixed across subjects. Its Algebra I end-of-course result was 3 percentage points below the nearby-school average of 87%, though it exceeded the results at most nearby schools; there are too few local Geometry results for a reliable comparison. East’s English language arts proficiency was higher than the nearby-school average in all three grades, by about 6–7 points, but remained 2–4 points below state results. Grade 8 math was a bright spot at 29%, 7 points above the state and well above the nearby average; grade 7 math was just below the local average. Grade 8 science reached 15%, above the district’s 12% and nearby average of 13%, but below the state’s 19%.

Results have shifted unevenly: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, the average math proficiency across grades 6–8 rose by 9 points, led by an 18-point gain in grade 8, while English language arts fell from the previous year by 9–15 points across the three grades. SchoolDigger ranks East at the 51st statewide percentile with 3 stars, down from the 57th percentile the year before; it ranks third among nearby schools with reported rankings, behind Memorial Middle School and Howell Township Middle School South. East is larger than nearby schools and has a higher student-teacher ratio: 14.7 students per teacher versus a local average of 11.0. In 2024–2025, 35% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a local average of 45%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for English Language Learner Students rose from the 36th to the 71st percentile, notably above East’s overall ranking; its ranking for White Students was lower, at the 26th percentile.
