In the 2024-2025 school year, Bragg's proficiency rates were 54.8% in 3rd grade ELA, 78.5% in 4th grade ELA, and 66.6% in 5th grade ELA, compared to the state averages of 44.9%, 53.6%, and 52.7%, respectively.

The school has consistently high rankings for its Hispanic and Special Education student subgroups, ranking in the top 10-20% of New Jersey elementary schools in these categories.

While Bragg Elementary's academic performance is generally stronger than the nearby Dickerson Elementary School, it lags behind the highly-ranked Mendham Township Elementary School, which is located about 5.6 miles away and consistently ranks in the top 5% of New Jersey elementary schools. However, other nearby schools, such as those in the Mount Olive Township and Roxbury Township districts, have lower overall academic performance compared to Bragg Elementary. The school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio suggest that it is well-resourced, which may contribute to its strong academic performance.
