Summary:
The 08805 zip code in New Jersey is home to a single middle school, Community Middle School, which serves grades 7-8. The school is part of the Bound Brook School District, which is ranked 555 out of 609 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Community Middle School has seen a decline in its performance and ranking over the past few years, going from 515 out of 748 New Jersey middle schools in 2022-2023 to 536 out of 752 in 2024-2025, with a 1-star rating. The school's test scores are significantly below the state averages in most subject areas and grade levels, with only 33.3% of 7th graders proficient or better in ELA and 15.8% of 8th graders proficient or better in math, compared to state averages of 57% and 20.7%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high percentage (79.09%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.
Despite these challenges, Community Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.4 to 1, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school's declining performance and the resource constraints faced by the district, as evidenced by the low spending per student ($9,871 in 2018-2019), suggest that the school may be struggling to provide a high-quality education for its students.
