Summary

Broad Street School is an elementary school located in Bridgeton, New Jersey, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 779 students. The school is part of the Bridgeton City School District, which is ranked 605 out of 609 school districts in New Jersey and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Broad Street School consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of New Jersey elementary schools, with a ranking between 1268-1340 out of around 1,350 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments (NJSLA) is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 7.6% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 44.9% statewide and 11.8% in the Bridgeton City School District. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with only 4.7% of 8th graders proficient in 2024-2025, compared to 20.7% statewide and 3.7% in the district. Broad Street School also has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 66.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, and consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.0% to 26.1% over the past few years.

While the other schools in the Bridgeton City School District also perform poorly on state assessments and have high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism, some nearby schools in other districts, such as Hopewell Crest and Elizabeth F. Moore School, demonstrate significantly better academic performance, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that factors other than simply increasing funding, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and school climate, may be more significant drivers of student achievement at Broad Street School.
