Best Public Schools in Zip Code 07716

Summary:

The 07716 zip code area is home to two elementary schools - Atlantic Highlands Elementary School and Navesink Elementary School. While both serve similar communities, Navesink Elementary stands out as an exceptionally high-performing school, ranking among the top 5% of elementary schools in New Jersey.

Navesink Elementary has received a prestigious 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and its students significantly outperform state and district averages on standardized tests. For example, 90% of 5th graders at Navesink are proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Math, compared to state averages around 50%. In contrast, Atlantic Highlands Elementary is ranked 392nd out of 1,342 New Jersey elementary schools and has a 4-star rating. Navesink also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate than Atlantic Highlands.

Despite being in the same Atlantic Highlands School District, the two schools have quite different student demographics, with Navesink having a higher percentage of minority students. Interestingly, Middletown Township Public School District also serves the 07716 zip code area, but Navesink Elementary outperforms the district average. This suggests that location alone does not determine school quality, and further investigation would be needed to fully understand the drivers behind Navesink's exceptional performance.
