Summary:
The Bogota Public School District in Bogota, New Jersey, consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools (Lillian M. Steen and E. Roy Bixby), 1 middle school (Bogota Middle School), and 1 high school (Bogota Junior/Senior High School). The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
Bogota Junior/Senior High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking in the top half of New Jersey high schools with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a strong 91.3% four-year graduation rate, a low 1.0% dropout rate, and impressive academic performance, with 66.7% of 8th graders and 69.3% of 9th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 100% of 8th graders proficient or better in Algebra I. In contrast, the two elementary schools show more variability in their academic performance, with Lillian M. Steen outperforming E. Roy Bixby in most subject areas.
Across the district, a significant percentage of students (ranging from 54.58% to 62.96%) are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This socioeconomic challenge may be a contributing factor to the variability in academic performance observed across the schools. Additionally, the differences in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios suggest that the district may not be allocating resources evenly or in a way that maximizes student outcomes, an area that could benefit from further analysis and improvement.
