How much the mix changed

Between 2012-13 and 2016-17 the makeup of this school changed substantially.

That’s the largest shift among the district’s seven high schools — and the biggest of 23 across Ocean County. The district as a whole shifted just 5.6 over the same years, making this school an outlier. The biggest moves, in percentage points:
White −17.1·Black +11.3·Hispanic +9.9

The index is half the sum of every group’s change in share, on a 0–100 scale (how it works). At a school this small, a few students moving can swing the index a lot. Compare any two years in the explorer →
