Summary

Bradley Gardens Primary School is an exceptional elementary school located in Bridgewater, New Jersey, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 271 students. It is part of the Bridgewater-Raritan Regional School District, which is ranked 139 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bradley Gardens Primary School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in New Jersey, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics often exceeding the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 88.7% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 68.7% for the district and 53.6% for the state. The school also has strong performance across different student subgroups, including female, male, Asian, and Hispanic students, with rankings often in the top 20-30% of New Jersey elementary schools. However, the school's performance for special education students is relatively weaker, an area that may need improvement.

While Bradley Gardens Primary School outperforms the other primary schools in the Bridgewater-Raritan Regional School District, such as Van Holten Primary School and Milltown Primary School, it lags behind the top-performing schools in the neighboring Hillsborough Township Public School District, such as Triangle Elementary School and Sunnymead Elementary School. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rates have been increasing in recent years, from 7.3% in 2021-2022 to 16.6% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern that the school may need to address.
