Summary:
ZIP code 07738 has two schools: Lincroft Elementary School, serving kindergarten through grade 5, and High Technology High School, serving grades 9–12. Both post strong results against state benchmarks, but they serve different grade levels and have no shared tested grades, so their scores cannot fairly establish which school is stronger overall. The most important finding is that both schools exceed state proficiency levels on nearly all of their reported tests.
High Technology stands out on its reported high-school tests: it was above the state on all four measures, with advantages of 27 points in Algebra II, 39 in Geometry, 49 in grade 9 ELA and 70 in grade 11 science. Lincroft stands out in elementary math, exceeding the state in all three tested grades; its largest advantage was 30 points in grade 3. Its main exception was grade 5 science, where proficiency was 26.9% versus 27.4% statewide, about 1 point lower. Lincroft exceeded the state on six of its seven listed results. These are each school’s strongest and weakest results relative to its own state benchmarks, not a direct school-to-school ranking.
Recent results show different trends by subject. At Lincroft, the average state advantage in math narrowed from 21 points in 2024–2025 to 20 points in 2025–2026, while its ELA advantage grew from 8 to 9 points; grade 5 science shifted from 6 points above the state to about 1 point below.
