Summary

Beachwood Elementary School enrolls 480 students in grades K–5 in Beachwood, New Jersey, and is part of the Toms River Regional School District. Its clearest academic strength is fifth grade: in 2025–2026, 66% of fifth graders were proficient in ELA and 71% in math, while fourth-grade proficiency was 35% in ELA and 34% in math.

Fifth-grade results stand out against the state, district and nearby schools. Beachwood’s fifth-grade ELA was 14 percentage points above the state and 21 above the district; math was 25 points above the state and 30 above the district. Fifth-grade science was also strong at 34%, 6 points above the state and 13 above the district. Among seven nearby schools with fifth-grade results, Beachwood ranked second overall behind Island Heights Elementary School, and had the highest results among Toms River schools in all three tests. The contrast with fourth grade is important: its ELA and math results were respectively 11 and 13 points below the state, and also below the district. Across grades 3–5, average ELA proficiency was 48%, 1 point below the state but 8 above the district; average math was 49%, 2 points above the state and 9 above the district.

Results have improved over time, though the path has not been even: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, average ELA rose 13 percentage points, average math rose 15, and fifth-grade science rose 13. SchoolDigger’s overall rating rose from the 32nd percentile in 2022–2023 to the 50th percentile, 2 stars, in 2025–2026; that was second among 10 nearby schools with a ranking. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 12.6, close to the nearby average of 12.3, and 40% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s group rankings also show notable differences: Low Socio Economic Status Students ranked at the 77th percentile in 2025–2026, compared with 50th overall, while Hispanic Students rose from the 29th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 63rd in 2025–2026. Grade-level enrollment counts are not provided, so proficiency percentages do not indicate how many students are represented.

What people are saying

by a parent on FaceBook
Monday, February 14, 2011

Each of the members of the staff and faculty that I have come in contact with shows a genuine interest and concern for each and every student. It amazes me that so many of the staff and faculty know students by name. I feel that it is important because it gives the student a sense of ownership and importance, rather than feeling as if they are just a face in the crowd of over 500 students. Recently, I needed to drop off paperwork in the main office. The principal, supervisor, and two of the secretaries greeted my son by name. One asked him a question about his karate class, and one complimented him on being so polite and holding the door for another student. Spending a few minutes with him in the cafeteria while he ate breakfast, I encountered the same types of interactions. I am kept well informed on my child's academic progress and his behavior and interactions with other children. My son enjoys his school experiences. He is learning new academic skills. As an involved parent, I am very satisified with Beachwood Elementary School in all areas. Close Quote
