Summary:
The 08226 zip code area of New Jersey is home to 3 schools that are part of the Ocean City School District: Ocean City High School, Ocean City Intermediate School, and Ocean City Primary School. These schools serve students from elementary through high school and generally perform well academically, with some standout schools and areas for potential improvement.
Ocean City High School is a standout, ranking 100 out of 429 New Jersey high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts strong academic performance, with high proficiency rates in ELA and Math, as well as a high graduation rate and low dropout rate. In contrast, Ocean City Intermediate School is ranked 303 out of 743 New Jersey middle schools, with a 3-star rating, but still maintains impressive academic performance, particularly in ELA.
Across the district, the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios and varying levels of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating a range of socioeconomic backgrounds among the student populations. However, all three schools share a 14.9% chronic absenteeism rate, which could be an area for further investigation and targeted interventions. Additionally, while the district as a whole is ranked 250 out of 609 in New Jersey and rated 3 stars, Ocean City Primary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, which warrants further analysis to understand the underlying factors.
