Students enrolled in each grade each fall, stacked to the total — so the top edge is total enrollment. Bands run from the lowest grade (light) to the highest (dark); a band that appears or disappears is a grade the school added or dropped. “Other” is students with no grade level (mostly special education), so the bands always sum to total.

How much the mix changed

Between 2021-22 and 2025-26 the makeup of this school barely moved.

That’s the fourth-largest shift among the district’s six high schools — smaller than 71% of Ocean County high schools. That roughly tracks the district overall (6.3) — a district-wide change more than a school-specific one. The biggest moves, in percentage points:
Hispanic +2.9·White −2.4·Black −1.9
