How much the mix changed

Between 2021-22 and 2025-26 the makeup of this school shifted noticeably.

That’s the second-largest shift among the district’s six elementary schools — larger than 72% of Monmouth County elementary schools. The district as a whole shifted just 1.7 over the same years, making this school an outlier. The biggest moves, in percentage points:
Asian −7.6·White +4.8·Black +2.4
