Communications High School

Public Grades 9-12

19^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 434 New Jersey High Schools

Better than 96% of New Jersey high schools

Summary

Communications High School is a 295-student, grades 9–12 school in Wall, part of the Monmouth County Vocational School District. Its results are exceptional overall: SchoolDigger ranks it 19th of 434 New Jersey schools, in the 96th percentile, with five stars for 2025–2026. Its clearest strengths are ninth-grade English and Algebra I, where it scored 100% and 96% proficiency, respectively, leading the listed nearby schools in both subjects.

Compared with the state and district, the school stands out in those subjects: ninth-grade English proficiency was 49 percentage points above the state and 3 points above the district; Algebra I was 73 points above the state and 19 above the district. Science is also strong against the state, at 68% versus 29%, but trails the district’s 85%; only the Monmouth County Academy of Allied Health and Science scored higher among nearby schools with reported results. Algebra II is the main concern: ninth-grade proficiency was 46%, below the state’s 53% and district’s 65%. Nearby results at Howell High School and Wall High School were higher.

Recent results show some meaningful declines despite the school’s high standing. Ninth-grade Algebra II fell from 100% in 2022–2023 to 46% in 2025–2026, while science dropped from 90% in 2024–2025 to 68%. SchoolDigger’s rank also slipped from third in 2024–2025, though it remains among the state’s top schools. The school’s student-teacher ratio was 9.8 in 2024–2025, below the nearby-school average of 11.5, though four nearby schools had lower ratios. In that same year, 2% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. Graduation was 100%, compared with 89% statewide; chronic absenteeism was 5%, below the state’s 14% but above the district’s 3%. With 295 students, results may vary more from year to year.
