ZIP Code 08757 · Holiday City-Berkeley, New Jersey
Ocean County · 19,503 counted · 4 districts
Each percentage here is a share of the 19,503 homes counted in ZIP Code 08757, not the chance that any one address is in that district. Enrollment follows the street: two houses on opposite sides of the same road can be in different districts, and only the district office can say which.

Have a street address?
A ZIP Code names every district that can serve the area; a street address settles which one serves a home. The Census Bureau geocoder takes an exact address and returns its school districts from the current boundary files, free and with no account.

Then confirm it with the district office. Each district named here, with its NCES district ID, website and phone:
- Berkeley Township School District NCES ID 3401560 btboe.org (732) 269-2321
- Central Regional School District NCES ID 3402910 centralreg.k12.nj.us (732) 269-1100

The set of names changes in both directions
Central Regional is named for high school here and for no elementary grades, and Berkeley Township runs the early grades and no more. An address on the wrong street can therefore change district at the change of grade and land in a district that was never part of its elementary answer, while a neighbor two blocks away keeps one name the whole way through.
What one district name costs in 08757

That is the whole difference between this page and a one-line answer: the same federal file, read to the end instead of to the first row.

What to do next
Ask the district office to confirm your street address: look on its site for a school locator, a find my school tool or an attendance zone map, or call the office.
A ZIP Code is a set of mail delivery routes, not a boundary: 5,620 of the 19,503 homes counted in 08757 sit outside each of the 2 districts tied for the most of them, and the line runs along streets rather than around the postal area.
District websites and phone numbers here come from the NCES Common Core of Data directory, 2024-25 school year, filed under the same district ID as the Census boundary files. Where it lists no usable website, none is printed rather than guessed.
What this site can hand you instead:
If a house purchase depends on the answer, ask the district itself for written confirmation of that exact address. A listing is not a district record, and neither is this page.
Where these numbers come from
The homes were counted in the 2020 Census and the district lines are the 2026 boundary file, so a fast-growing area may have changed since; ZIP Codes here are the Census Bureau's ZIP Code Tabulation Areas; a share is a share of homes, not the chance that one address is in a district; and a district is not a school attendance zone. Every source, file and caveat is on the method page.
