The school is part of the Point Pleasant Borough School District, which is ranked 202 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

While Ocean Road Elementary School has some areas of strength, such as the strong performance of its Hispanic and English Language Learner students, it also faces challenges in maintaining its academic performance and addressing issues like chronic absenteeism. The school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate of 35.3% is lower than the district's 41.8% and the state's 42%, but its 5th grade Math proficiency rate of 67.2% is higher than the district's 63.6% and the state's 40.1%. Compared to nearby schools, Ocean Road Elementary generally performs better than Brick Township Public School District schools, but lags behind higher-performing schools in the area, such as Sea Girt Elementary and Brielle Elementary.

The school's racial makeup is significantly different from the state average, with a higher percentage of white students (88.54%) and lower percentages of African American (0.21%) and Asian (0.21%) students. Additionally, the school has seen a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, from 4.3% in 2020-2021 to 11.0% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average. The school's leadership and the Point Pleasant Borough School District should closely examine the data and implement targeted strategies to address these areas of concern and improve the overall educational experience 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.
