Summary:
The 07712 zip code area is home to 10 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school, spread across the Township of Ocean School District and the Asbury Park School District. The data reveals a stark contrast in performance between the schools in these two districts, with the Township of Ocean Intermediate School and Wanamassa Elementary School consistently outperforming the Asbury Park schools, such as Asbury Park High School and Bradley Elementary School.
The top-performing schools in the area, Township of Ocean Intermediate School and Wanamassa Elementary School, have significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state averages, as well as lower chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch rates. In contrast, the Asbury Park schools struggle with very low proficiency rates, high chronic absenteeism, and high percentages of students receiving free/reduced lunch.
The data suggests that socioeconomic factors, such as poverty and access to resources, may play a significant role in the academic performance of the schools in this area. The Hope Academy Charter School, while still performing below state averages, shows some promising signs, such as improving test scores and lower chronic absenteeism compared to the Asbury Park district schools, indicating that the charter school model may be providing some benefits to the students.
