What this school's NCES data tells you

That figure sits 45% below the New Jersey state mean of 11.9:1, signalling more teacher attention per pupil than the state benchmark. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.7:1, it is 59% lower, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Counselor coverage works out to roughly 280 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 12.5% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Beach Haven School District spends $32,316 per pupil district-wide, above the New Jersey average of $24,984 and above the national average of $16,593. Revenue comes 72.6% from local sources (property taxes), 24.9% from the state, and 2.5% from federal programs per the NCES F-33 finance survey. Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 54/100 (C-), calculated from 4 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
