Community Middle School appears to be the highest performing in the district, ranking 515 out of 748 New Jersey middle schools and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. It has the highest proficiency rates on NJSLA tests compared to the other schools, particularly in Algebra I.

Across the district, the schools face significant challenges, including a predominantly Hispanic student population, low proficiency rates on NJSLA tests, high chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for the students of Bound Brook.
