Summary:
Zip code 08751 has one listed school, Hugh J. Boyd Junior Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 6 with 157 students, in the Seaside Heights School District. The most important finding for families is that the school’s 2025–2026 results were below New Jersey’s results in every tested grade and subject; across grades 3–6, its average shortfall was about 23 points in ELA and 24 points in math.
Because this is the only school listed, it is both the area’s highest- and lowest-scoring school by default, so there is no meaningful local school-to-school comparison. Within its results, grade 6 math came closest to the state: 35% proficient, compared with 40% statewide, a 5-point gap. The largest gaps were in grade 4 math, at 13% versus 47% statewide (34 points), and grade 5 ELA, at 23% versus 52% (29 points). Grade 5 science was 0%, compared with 27% statewide. SchoolDigger ranks the school 1,128th of 1,331 statewide, at the 15th percentile with one star; that ranking is distinct from its test scores.
Results show a clear split by grade over the two years: grades 3–4 improved or held steady in ELA and math, while grades 5–6 declined in both. Grade 5 math had the sharpest drop, from 47% in 2024–2025 to 15% in 2025–2026, a 32-point decrease. Meanwhile, SchoolDigger’s rank-history percentile fell from 27 in 2023–2024 to 25 in 2024–2025 and 15 in 2025–2026. For additional context, the school’s student-teacher ratio was 7.4 in 2024–2025, and 80% of students were free/reduced-lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was 37%, compared with 14% statewide, a 23-point difference.
