Summary

North Bergen Junior High School serves grades 7–8 in North Bergen, New Jersey; the supplied record lists enrollment as 0, so it does not establish the actual number of students. In 2025–2026, the school’s results were below state levels in English language arts, math, and science, while eighth-grade Algebra I was a clear exception. The most important finding is that ELA and math proficiency was low in both grades, trailing the state and most nearby schools.

The school’s weakest relative results are in ELA and math. Proficiency was 43% in seventh-grade ELA and 41% in eighth-grade ELA, compared with state rates of 56% and 53%; seven of nine nearby schools scored higher in each grade. Math proficiency was 27% in grade 7 and 16% in grade 8, versus 38% and 23% statewide, and seven of nine nearby schools also scored higher in each grade. Eighth-grade science was 10%, below the state’s 19%, but closer to nearby schools: the school ranked sixth among the ten schools compared. Algebra I is the strongest result: eighth-grade proficiency was 88%, about the nearby-school average and equal to the district’s rate, and above the state’s 75%. The North Bergen School District matched the school’s ELA and math rates in both grades.

SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 34th statewide percentile with 2 stars, second-lowest among nearby schools; their rankings range from the 19th to the 87th percentile. The district ranks at the 16th percentile with 1 star. SchoolDigger’s group rankings differ from its overall standing: the school is at the 60th percentile for English Language Learner students and the 15th percentile for White students, compared with its overall 34th percentile—indicating stronger relative standing for the former group and weaker standing for the latter on SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves them. Results are available only for 2025–2026, and the supplied data also lack a usable enrollment count, student-teacher ratio, and low-income measure, so they cannot establish score trends or provide those comparisons.
