Point Road School serves 396 students in pre-kindergarten through fourth grade in Little Silver, New Jersey. It earns a composite score of 9.4 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — with academic performance hitting 9.7 and growth at 9.2.

The student-teacher ratio of 10.2 to 1 means students get meaningful classroom attention from the earliest grades.
