About Shore Regional School District
Shore Regional School District serves zip code 07703, covering Fort Monmouth, New Jersey with grades K–12. Whether you’re researching a move, evaluating a home purchase, or preparing to enroll a child, the sections below give you a complete picture of this district’s resources, size, and what its rating means for your family.
Funding and Resources
According to NCES 2024–2025, Shore Regional School District spends approximately $22,000 per student per year, placing it near the New Jersey state average of approximately $22,000 and well above the national average nationally (U.S. average: $13,700/year). Districts at this funding level typically offer smaller class sizes, broader elective and extracurricular programs, stronger technology infrastructure, and more competitive teacher salaries. Per-pupil spending directly affects teacher compensation, class sizes, elective course offerings, technology access, and the depth of student support services — making it one of the most meaningful structural indicators of district capacity.
District Scale and Program Breadth
At 1 schools serving grades K–12, Shore Regional School District qualifies as a small, community-focused district serving students from K–12. The district enrolls approximately 603 students in total. Small districts often benefit from tighter community cohesion, more personalized teacher-student relationships, and stronger parental involvement. The trade-off is narrower program variety: fewer elective courses, specialized tracks, or extracurricular options than larger systems offer.
Why This District Is Not Yet Rated
Shore Regional School District does not currently have a SchoolDistrictFinder rating. It serves only high school grades, and our ratings are built from state assessment results in grades 3–8, so there is no comparable proficiency measure for a district that does not enroll those grades.
An unrated status is not a negative signal — it means we do not have assessment data we can fairly place on the 1–10 scale for Shore Regional School District. Families researching this area should contact the district directly for school performance information, request the most recent state report card, and visit schools in person before making an enrollment or housing decision.
