New Jersey Monthly also published information that shows: grade 12 enrollment; student-faculty ratio; number of AP subjects offered; percentages of 11th and 12th grade students taking AP courses; percentages of students scoring high on the SAT; and the graduation rates. The figures also include the percentages of students enrolled in college 16 months after high school.

Sixty-nine percent of students score higher than 530 on the SAT, and 89 percent were at or above 480 on the reading and writing portion of the SAT. Ocean City’s graduation rate is 96.3 percent, and 78.6 percent of Ocean City High School students were enrolled in college 16 months after graduation.
