Best Public Schools in Zip Code 08722


Summary:

The 08722 zip code area is home to two schools - Toms River Intermediate School South, a middle school, and Beachwood Elementary School. While neither school stands out as exceptional, a closer look at the data reveals some interesting insights about the performance and characteristics of these institutions within the Toms River Regional School District.

Academically, both schools appear to be underperforming compared to state and district averages, particularly in mathematics. Toms River Intermediate School South has ELA proficiency rates ranging from 39.5% to 48%, while math proficiency rates range from 13.6% to 21.4%. Beachwood Elementary School's ELA proficiency rates are between 30.8% and 37%, and math proficiency rates are 26.9% to 42%. Additionally, the middle school has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 22.1% compared to the elementary school's 11.8%, which could be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance.

Socioeconomic factors also play a role, with Toms River Intermediate School South having a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (36.55%) compared to Beachwood Elementary (26.97%). Despite the middle school receiving more funding per student ($7,586) than the elementary school ($6,926), this does not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes. Both schools are ranked in the lower half of their respective school types within New Jersey, suggesting they are performing below average compared to their peers across the state.
