Summary:

The 08751 zip code has only one school, Hugh J. Boyd Junior Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with 176 students. The school is part of the Seaside Heights School District, which is ranked 521 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hugh J. Boyd Junior Elementary School has consistently low test scores across all grade levels, with proficiency rates significantly below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% is also higher than the state average. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income population, with over 91% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite its small size, with a student-teacher ratio of 7.3 to 1, the school's performance is consistently lower than both the Seaside Heights School District and the state of New Jersey across various metrics. This suggests that the school is underperforming compared to its peers and may need to implement significant improvements to address the academic challenges faced by its students.
