Seaside Heights School District

The Seaside Heights School District in New Jersey consists of a single school, Hugh J. Boyd Junior Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance data paints a concerning picture, with consistently low rankings and proficiency rates well below the state averages.

According to the data, Hugh J. Boyd Junior Elementary School has ranked in the bottom quarter of New Jersey elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that are significantly lower than the state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's English Language Arts proficiency rates ranged from 25.1% to 45.5%, compared to the state averages of 43.6% to 53.2%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 18.8% to 36.4%, compared to the state averages of 47.6% to 36.2%.

Despite the school's poor academic performance, it appears to have adequate funding and resources, with a relatively high per-student spending of $16,802 in the 2018-2019 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 8.4 to 1 in the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 75.74% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. These factors suggest that the school may require targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of its students and improve academic outcomes.
