District-Level NCES Analysis

Brick Township Public School District operates 12 public schools serving 8,340 students, placing it among the smaller districts in New Jersey. The school portfolio breaks down into 6 elementary, 2 high, 2 middle, 2 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 8,224 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Ocean County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $23,486 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 57.9% local, 34.3% state, and 7.9% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $97,732 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 35/100, ranked #429 of 587 in New Jersey against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 2 of 12 schools offering Advanced Placement (40 AP courses district-wide), a 223.6:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 19.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 67.7% White, 22.5% Hispanic or Latino, 4.7% African American across the district's schools.

Brick Township Memorial High School accounts for 15.4% of all Brick Township Public School District student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Brick Township Public School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

Brick Township Public School District student-counselor ratio is 224:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment — districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.

Brick Township Public School District chronic absenteeism rate is 19.9% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Brick Township Public School District is typically wider than the Brick Township Public School District-aggregate figure suggests.
