Summary:

The 08805 zip code area in New Jersey is home to 5 schools that are part of the Bound Brook School District, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district faces some academic and equity challenges, a few schools stand out in performance.

Community Middle School appears to be the highest performing school in the district, with stronger test scores and a better statewide ranking compared to the other schools. In contrast, Bound Brook High School lags behind, with only 7.1% of 8th graders proficient in Algebra I. However, the high school maintains a respectable 91.3% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.0% dropout rate.

Across the district, the schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores compared to state averages, and a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. These factors suggest potential equity issues that may be impacting student outcomes. Addressing the root causes of these systemic challenges should be a priority for the Bound Brook School District to improve educational opportunities for all students in the 08805 zip code area.
