Rating 4.05 out of 5 37 reviews
The Toms River Regional Schools District boasts a collection of several elementary schools, three intermediate schools, and three high schools. The district provides its elementary students with GT programs, middle schoolers with advanced mathematics, and high schoolers with career specialization academies. Though the school district is not at a high level currently, the best students are competitive and self-motivated, sending several to Ivy League and globally recognized institutions (Princeton, UPenn, Brown, NYU, etc.). With greater access to funding, the school could provide a wider selection of AP classes and full-time bussing for students involved in extracurricular activities.
The school district as a whole cares about their students, however, there are many things that can be changed. These include having a budget that goes to all three schools and not just one. The arts in the school district also need better funding. The chorale program at High School South has barely any funding, the clubs have barely any funding and it is rather difficult to try and attempt to fund. As a student-athlete as well as a participant in the arts, I believe that both should have an equal amount of funding and that change should be enforced.
After spending kindergarten through 12th grade at TRRS institutions I can truly say student health and safety are not the priority of the district. There is no support system, nobody to go to no matter how much help you may need. Counselors and teachers will laugh in your face if you are struggling. As a "gifted and talented" student in the district I feel that all I can say is they cared more about the grades and the gpa I provided them with for their stats than they cared about my actual success. Of course, there were a few faculty members who were a diamond in the rough, but those were far and few. Many of them openly admit they never wanted to become teachers and some simply did it as a last resort, which definitely shows.
