Summary:
The LONG BRANCH PUBLIC SCHOOL District has only one high school, Long Branch High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently underperformed, ranking between 363 and 386 out of 415-426 New Jersey high schools over the past three school years and receiving a 1-star or 0-star rating.
Long Branch High School's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in NJSLA/English Language Arts, NJSLA/Algebra I, NJSLA/Geometry, and NJSLA-S/Science that are significantly lower than both the state and district averages, often by 20 percentage points or more. The school's four-year graduation rate of 91.1% and dropout rate of 1.2% in 2022-2023 are also areas that require attention.
The data suggests that the school faces challenges related to socioeconomic factors, with a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 69.77% in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $11,214 in 2018-2019 and a student-teacher ratio of 12.5 in 2022-2023 may indicate a need for additional resources and support to improve student outcomes.
