College Achieve Greater Asbury Park Charter School (CAPS Asbury) is setting a new standard for educational success, delivering significant gains on the New Jersey State Learning Assessments:

• ELA Excellence: Surpassed state averages across all subgroups, with especially strong results among students with disabilities, economically disadvantaged students, and multilingual learners.
• Math Gains: Key grades at CAPS Asbury achieved significant growth in math, with 8th graders surpassing the state average by an impressive 24 percentage points overall.

“These results demonstrate the power of small group instruction, data-driven strategies, and high-dosage tutoring in closing achievement gaps for historically underserved students,” said Jasonn Denard, Head of School.

With a student body where 89% qualify for Free and Reduced Lunch and 8% are classified as homeless, CAPS Asbury continues to prove that every scholar can thrive when given the right tools and support.
