Summary:
The city of Union Beach, New Jersey, is home to a single elementary school, Memorial School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 638 students. The school is part of the Union Beach Public School District, which is ranked 390 out of 613 school districts in New Jersey and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Memorial School's academic performance is mixed compared to state and district averages. While the school's Algebra I test scores are relatively strong, with 78.6% of 8th graders and end-of-course students scoring proficient or better, its proficiency rates on the NJSLA English Language Arts and Mathematics tests are generally below the state averages, particularly in Mathematics. The school's Science proficiency rates are also low, ranging from 9.8% in 8th grade to 16.7% in 5th grade, well below the state averages.
Additionally, Memorial School's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 927 out of 1,345 New Jersey elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 769 out of 1,338 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school's performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 28.06%, which may have implications for the resources and support the school requires to address the unique needs of its student body.
