Summary:
The Bogota Public School District in New Jersey consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
Among the standout schools in the district, Bogota Junior/Senior High School has consistently ranked in the top half of New Jersey high schools, with a strong 91.3% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.0% dropout rate. The school's students also outperform the district and state averages on most state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts. Another high-performing school is Lillian M. Steen Elementary School, which has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and has students exceeding district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
However, not all schools in the district are performing at the same level. E. Roy Bixby Elementary School lags behind the district and state averages on most state assessments. Additionally, the district as a whole faces challenges, with all schools having a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.58% to 62.96%. The variation in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios among the schools suggests that resource allocation may not be equitable, which could contribute to the disparities in student performance.
