Summary:
The Asbury Park School District in New Jersey is home to a single high school, Asbury Park High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and relatively low graduation rates compared to state averages.
Asbury Park High School has a diverse student population, with a majority of African American (42.01%) and Hispanic (55.68%) students. However, the school's academic performance is well below state standards, with only 8.4% of 7th graders, 8.8% of 8th graders, and 25.4% of 9th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, and even lower math proficiency rates. The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.4% is also lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 8.2% is relatively high.
Despite the school's struggles, it spends $21,907 per student, which is higher than the state average. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.1 to 1. These factors suggest that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and implement targeted interventions to address the underlying issues and improve outcomes for its students.
