Old Bridge High School has shown mixed performance on state assessments, with strengths in some subject areas like Geometry and Algebra II, but struggles in others like Algebra I and Science. The school's performance on the NJGPA (New Jersey Graduation Proficiency Assessment) for 11th-grade students is relatively strong, with 75% proficient or better in English Language Arts and 53% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 80.7% and 58%, respectively.

Compared to nearby high schools, Old Bridge High School generally performs better than schools like South River High School and Keyport High School, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Holmdel High School and Marlboro High School.
