Summary

Brigantine Community School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Brigantine Public School District in New Jersey, with 383 students and a 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brigantine Community School consistently outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels, with 73.5% of 5th graders proficient or better in ELA compared to the state average of 52.7%. The school also performs well in specific subject areas like Algebra I, where 78.5% of 8th graders were proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average of 72.7%. However, the school's performance in Science, particularly at the 8th grade level, is an area of concern, with only 9.7% proficient or better compared to the state average of 19%. The school has strong performance among its male students, Hispanic, and Special Education student populations, but relatively weaker performance for its female and White student populations.

Brigantine Community School significantly outperforms the nearby schools in the Atlantic City School District, which are all rated 1 or 2 stars by SchoolDigger. For example, in 2024-2025, Brigantine Community School had 55.2% of 3rd graders proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to just 29% at the highest-performing nearby school, Chelsea Heights School. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, suggesting it may be able to provide more individualized attention and support to its students. While Brigantine Community School performs well overall, there are a few areas that could be targeted for improvement, such as the school's performance in Science and the concerning trend in chronic absenteeism.
