Jersey Shore Schools with Most Drugs and Alcohol [LIST]
These numbers are reported by each district, so each jurisdiction is responsible for reporting their results fairly and accurately. But they are required by law to report them. ~ Mike Yaple (Spokesman for the state Department of Education)
We all hope our high schools do not make this list, but officials have put together a list of the schools in New Jersey with the highest "reported" cases of drug and alcohol incidents (latest data available). I spotted this article first published by the Patch and took it a little further. Here are the Top 10 here in Ocean and Monmouth County:
- Toms River Regional 77*
- Freehold Regional 49*
- Jackson Township 31*
- Brick Township 27*
- Middletown 19*
- Lakewood 17*
- Long Branch 17*
- Southern Regional 17*
- Manasquan 14*
- Ocean Township 13*
* - number of reported cases
The Top 3 in the state overall were Paterson, Jersey City, and Elizabeth.
