Summary

Adamsville Primary School is an elementary school located in Bridgewater, New Jersey, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 490 students. It is part of the Bridgewater-Raritan Regional School District, which is ranked 139 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Adamsville Primary School has shown a declining trend in its statewide ranking, dropping from 295th out of 1,346 New Jersey elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 471st out of 1,347 in 2024-2025, its performance on NJSLA assessments is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, only 51.2% of 3rd-grade students and 57.7% of 4th-grade students at Adamsville Primary School were proficient or better in NJSLA/ELA, compared to 58.1% and 68.7% for the district, respectively. However, the school's performance is generally better than that of some nearby schools, such as those in the Bound Brook and Manville school districts, which have lower statewide rankings and lower academic achievement on NJSLA assessments.

Adamsville Primary School has a diverse student population, and the performance of different student subgroups varies significantly. Female students generally outperform male students, and Asian students and English Language Learner (ELL) students perform relatively well, with the school ranking in the top 25% and top 15% of New Jersey elementary schools, respectively, for these subgroups. In contrast, the performance of African American, Hispanic, and White students, as well as students with low socioeconomic status, is below the state average. The school has also experienced fluctuations in its chronic absenteeism rate, which is generally higher than the state average and the district's average. Addressing these disparities and the factors behind high absenteeism could be key focus areas for the school to improve its overall educational outcomes.

What people are saying

by a parent

This review is mainly for their panthers preschool program and administrative staff. My daughter attended the preschool program when it was at Crim and I loved it. I was shocked to hear the entire program moved to Adamsville 2 years ago but thought it should be the same as all the teachers are the same. Boy was I wrong. I learned what a difference it makes when you have good supporting and administrative staff. The staff at Adamsville do not communicate with you and very unresponsive. You can never reach anyone even when you have an urgent matter. The nurse is always out of office and doesn’t reply until at least over a week later. And more importantly, they lie about a lot of things. When you can get to someone, they will tell you what you want to hear just to brush the matter off when in reality, they don’t care and aren’t/won’t do anything to address or resolve your issue. My son lost transportation this year and I was told there’s no school bus for everyone in the preschool program. That was a lie as I see preschoolers hop on the buses everyday during pick up. Then I asked again and was told none of the bus service my area. That was also a lie as I see a bus with 2 students on it pass by my street everyday. So when you ask a question they don’t want to answer, they will just ignore you completely.

But to be fair, the teachers in the program are wonderful and they truly care for each and every student. Some teachers will go above and beyond to ensure the well being of the students. My daughter had such great experiences with her teachers (which they are still in Adamsville) that she still talks about how wonderful they are to this day (she is currently in grade 1).

There is no point in wasting your money in this program when you can pay a little more and have longer hours and better than experience elsewhere. The school hours are so short that I literally only have 2 hours in between drop off and pick up. Every day, I just have the urge to pull my son out of the program just to keep my sanity. But the only reasons why I kept my son there is because of the teachers and he loves going to school to play with his classmates. I cannot wait for the school year to be done. Close Quote
