Summary

Toms River High School East serves 1,377 students in grades 9–12 in Toms River, New Jersey. SchoolDigger gives it 3 stars and places it at the 51st percentile statewide for 2025–2026, above the Toms River Regional School District at 1 star and the 28th percentile. The most important academic concern is Algebra II, where East’s proficiency is 29%, compared with 53% statewide.

Geometry is East’s standout strength: ninth-grade proficiency is 89%, compared with 50% statewide and 78% districtwide; its 88% end-of-course result also exceeds the state’s 52%. Both results are higher than any reported nearby-school score; for example, Toms River High School North had the highest nearby results, at 72% on each measure. Ninth-grade ELA is another relative strength at 55%, above the state’s 51% and the district’s 47%; East also led nearby comprehensive high schools, while specialized OCVTS Grunin Performing Arts Academy scored 74%. Results are weaker in other areas: East’s 11th-grade math was 52% versus 61% statewide, and science was 18% versus 29% statewide. Ninth-grade Algebra I was 29%, above the state’s 22%, but the tenth-grade result was 0%.

East’s longer-term progress is mixed: ninth-grade Geometry rose from 27% in 2022–2023 to 89% in 2025–2026, while Algebra II fell from 93% to 29% over those years. East currently ranks highest among the nine nearby schools in SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile, ahead of Point Pleasant Borough High School at the 45th percentile, but its own percentile has fluctuated, from 41 in 2022–2023 to 59 in 2024–2025 and 51 in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings are notably lower than East’s overall ranking: Asian students rank at the 19th percentile and multiracial students at the 11th. In 2024–2025, the student–teacher ratio was 13.1, and 32% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. Chronic absenteeism was 20%, above the state’s 14% and district’s 16%, even as graduation reached 91%, above both the state and district.
