Summary

Bound Brook High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Bound Brook, New Jersey, with a total enrollment of 623 students. The school faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom third of New Jersey high schools over the past decade.

Bound Brook High School's performance on state assessments is well below the state average. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 34.3% of 9th-grade students were proficient or better in NJSLA/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 49.9%. The school's performance on NJSLA/Algebra I and NJSLA/Geometry assessments is also significantly lower than the state average. Similarly, the school's 11th-grade students scored 65.1% and 34.4% proficient or better on the NJGPA/English Language Arts and NJGPA/Mathematics assessments, respectively, compared to the state averages of 80.7% and 58%.

While Bound Brook High School lags behind some nearby schools, such as Piscataway Township High School and Somerville High School, in terms of academic performance, it outperforms others, like Plainfield Academy for the Arts & Advanced Studies and Manville High School. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and high rates of chronic absenteeism may be contributing factors to its academic challenges, which the Bound Brook School District will need to address to improve educational outcomes for its students.
