Summary:
The 08807 zip code area is home to 13 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 4 high schools, all part of the Bridgewater-Raritan Regional School District, except for 3 schools under the Somerset County Educational Services Commission School District. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with standouts like Milltown Primary School and Bradley Gardens Primary School ranking among the top elementary schools in New Jersey, while others, such as Adamsville Primary School, struggle to meet state averages.
The two high schools in the area, Bridgewater-Raritan High School and Somerset County Vocational Technical High School, both perform well, with high graduation rates and low dropout rates. The vocational high school, in particular, stands out for its exceptional 92.3% proficiency rate in Algebra II. However, the data also reveals a concerning trend of high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools in the area, which may require further investigation and targeted interventions.
The schools under the Somerset County Educational Services Commission School District, such as Somerset Secondary Academy and Somerset Elementary Academy, stand out for their significantly higher rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and higher spending per student, suggesting they serve a more economically disadvantaged population compared to the Bridgewater-Raritan schools.
