Point Pleasant Borough School District


Summary:

The Point Pleasant Borough School District in New Jersey consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district is generally performing well, with standout results at the middle and high school levels.

Memorial Middle School consistently ranks among the top middle schools in New Jersey, with a statewide ranking between 86-188 over the past 3 years and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It has strong test scores, particularly in Algebra I, where over 88% of students are proficient or better. Meanwhile, Point Pleasant Borough High School also performs well, ranking between 119-151 out of 426 New Jersey high schools over the past 3 years, with a high 4-year graduation rate of 91.1% and a low dropout rate of 1.2%.

The district's schools generally perform above the state average on NJSLA tests, particularly in English Language Arts and Algebra I. However, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% is concerning and may be an area for improvement. Additionally, while Nellie F. Bennett Elementary performs well, Ocean Road Elementary lags behind, particularly in 3rd grade ELA and Math, suggesting the district may want to investigate ways to improve performance at that school.
