High Schools in Toms River Regional School District

The Toms River Regional School District in New Jersey is home to three high schools: Toms River High School North, Toms River High School East, and Toms River High School South. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and provide a range of educational opportunities within the district.

Among the three high schools, Toms River High School East stands out as the top performer, with the highest statewide ranking, a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, and generally stronger test scores compared to the other two high schools. In contrast, Toms River High School South has the lowest rankings and test scores within the district. All three schools maintain similar graduation rates and dropout rates, suggesting consistent standards and support for student success across the district.

While the high schools share some common challenges, such as low proficiency rates in Algebra I, the data reveals that funding and resource allocation may play a role in the academic performance of these schools. Toms River High School East, the top-performing school, also has the highest spending per student, which could contribute to its academic success. The district's high chronic absenteeism rates across all three high schools may also be a factor impacting student outcomes and warrant further investigation and targeted interventions.
