Elementary Schools in Toms River Regional School District

Summary:

The Toms River Regional School District in New Jersey is home to 12 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools vary significantly in size, student demographics, and academic performance, with some standout institutions like North Dover Elementary School consistently ranking among the top in the district and state.

The top-performing elementary schools in the district are North Dover Elementary, Hooper Avenue Elementary, and Silver Bay Elementary, all of which have strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that exceed district and state averages. In contrast, schools like East Dover Elementary, Walnut Street Elementary, and South Toms River Elementary lag behind in academic performance.

Across the Toms River Regional School District, there are significant disparities in student demographics and school funding, with the highest-poverty schools also tending to have the lowest proficiency rates. While per-student spending does not directly correlate with outcomes, the district may need to examine resource allocation and teaching practices to address these inequities and support the success of all students.
