N.J. High School Student Jumps Out Of Window To Avoid Test

A N.J. high school student jumped out of a bathroom window on Wednesday because she didn't want to take a test, police said.

The student leaped from a second-floor window at Asbury Park High School at 8:44 a.m., the Asbury Park Police Department told nj.com.

The 15-year-old female was taken to a nearby hospital to treat her broken ankle and undergo evaluation, according to The Asbury Park Press.

School officials said the high school was holding PSAT testing on Wednesday for freshmen, sophomores and juniors, and the student who jumped is a sophomore who arrived at school around before 7:47 a.m., according to the reports.

The student, who was not identified, went to the second-floor ladies bathroom on the building's east side and climbed out of the window in an effort to leave the building, before falling to the ground, according to the reports.

Nurses from the high school and the Monmouth County Vocational School District cared for the student until emergency services arrived, and before she was transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune for treatment and evaluation, according to the reports.

"It's unfortunate that one of our students took extreme measures to exit the building, which resulted in her being injured," Superintendent Lamont Repollet said on nj.com. "Our priority is to have a safe learning environment where we take the safety and security of all of our students very seriously."
