Summary

High Bridge Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the High Bridge Borough School District in New Jersey. With 141 students and a student-teacher ratio of 13.3, the school is part of a district ranked 237 out of 609 in the state and rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Academically, High Bridge Middle School stands out for its strong performance in English Language Arts, with 78.8% of 7th graders and 80% of 8th graders proficient or better on the NJSLA exams, significantly higher than the state averages. However, the school's math performance lags behind, with proficiency rates below the state averages across all grade levels. Notably, the school shows disparities in performance between male and female students, with females outperforming males. Additionally, the school's white student population struggles compared to other subgroups.
