Bradley Beach Elementary School's academic performance is a mixed bag, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) ranging from 31.8% to 64.7% across grades 3-8, and mathematics proficiency ranging from 0% to 52.6%. Compared to state averages, the school's ELA proficiency is above average in some grades but below average in others, while its mathematics proficiency is mostly below the state average. The school's science proficiency rates in 5th and 8th grade are particularly low, at 4.3% and 10.5% respectively, well below the state average.

Other notable factors about the school include a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%, a high percentage of students (50.73%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and a very low student-teacher ratio of 5.5 to 1. The school's spending per student is higher than the state average, at $15,320 per student, which raises questions about the underlying factors contributing to the academic performance concerns. Overall, the data suggests that Bradley Beach Elementary School faces significant challenges in improving student outcomes, particularly in the areas of mathematics and science, and addressing issues like chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student learning.
