Summary:
The 07712 zip code area is home to 5 elementary schools, serving grades K-8, with a mix of public district schools and a charter school. The schools in this area display a stark contrast in academic performance, with some schools consistently outperforming state and district averages, while others struggle to meet proficiency standards.
The Wayside Elementary School and Wanamassa Elementary School, both part of the Township of Ocean School District, stand out as the top-performing schools in the area. These schools have relatively high proficiency rates on NJSLA tests, with 3rd and 4th-grade students exceeding state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Thurgood Marshall Elementary School and Bradley Elementary School, part of the Asbury Park School District, struggle academically, with proficiency rates often below 15%.
The Hope Academy Charter School, which serves grades K-8, has a mixed performance, with some grades performing better than others on NJSLA tests. The school's overall ranking and star rating from SchoolDigger suggest that it is not among the top-performing schools in the state, despite its charter school status. Interestingly, the schools with higher percentages of free and reduced lunch recipients tend to have lower academic performance, indicating a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement.
