Township of Ocean Intermediate School

Summary:

Township of Ocean Intermediate School is a public middle school serving around 890 students in grades 5-8 in Ocean, New Jersey. The school is part of the Tinton Falls School District, which is ranked 244 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Township of Ocean Intermediate School consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. In 2022-2023, the school's ELA proficiency rates ranged from 48.4% to 66.5%, compared to the state average of 49% to 55.7%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 6.3% to 51.2%, outperforming the state average of 17.8% to 40.1%. The school's Algebra I proficiency rates are particularly impressive, with 84.8% of 8th-grade students and 86.5% of end-of-course students scoring proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average. The school's diverse student population, with 59.44% White, 10.22% African American, 20.67% Hispanic, and 7.19% Asian students, is higher than many of the nearby schools, such as Maple Place Middle School and Markham Place School, which tend to have more homogeneous student populations.

While Township of Ocean Intermediate School generally outperforms many of the nearby middle schools in academic metrics, some nearby schools, such as Tinton Falls Middle School and Frank Antonides School, also demonstrate strong academic performance and are competitive with Township of Ocean Intermediate School. The school's relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (27.75%) compared to some of the nearby schools, such as Neptune Middle School (45.22%) and Dr. Martin Luther King Upper Elementary School (58.05%), suggests that the school serves a more affluent student population, which may contribute to its academic success. However, the school should continue to monitor and address areas of concern, such as the performance gaps among different student subgroups and the gradual increase in chronic absenteeism, to ensure continued academic success and equitable outcomes for all students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
