Summary

Bogota Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-7 in the Bogota Public School District in New Jersey. With 189 students, the school consistently performs above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, but its mathematics performance is more mixed.

Bogota Middle School particularly excels for certain student subgroups, with female students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds all ranking among the top middle schools in the state. However, the school's performance for students with disabilities is more average. One area of concern is the increasing chronic absenteeism rate, which has risen from 10.0% in 2023-2024 to 16.6% in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby middle schools, Bogota Middle School's performance is generally on par or slightly better, but it lags behind top-performing schools like Upper School in Englewood Cliffs and Leonia Middle School. The school's high percentage of students from low-income families (62.96% free/reduced lunch) is notable, suggesting it may face additional challenges in supporting its student population.
