Summary:
The 08724 zip code is home to a single high school, Brick Township Memorial High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school's four-year graduation rate is slightly above the state average, its academic performance is mixed, with strengths in English Language Arts but challenges in Algebra I and Science proficiency. The school's demographic and financial factors, such as a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and below-average per-student spending, may be contributing to these disparities.
Brick Township Memorial High School has a statewide ranking that has fluctuated between 222 and 254 out of 429-434 New Jersey high schools over the past three school years, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in NJSLA/English Language Arts (56.5%) and NJGPA/English Language Arts (81.6%) for 9th and 11th grades, respectively, were above the Brick Township Public School District and state averages. However, its proficiency rates in NJSLA/Algebra I (12.9-13%) and NJSLA-S/Science (19.4%) for 9th and 11th grades were significantly lower than the district and state averages.
The school's relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (31.38%) and below-average per-student spending ($8,276) may be contributing factors to its mixed academic performance. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 13.6 for the 2023-2024 school year is slightly lower than the state average, suggesting that the school may need to allocate more resources to support student learning and address the academic challenges it faces.
