There are no separate top and bottom schools in this ZIP-code list because Sayreville is the only school. Compared with the state, its strongest 2025–26 results were Algebra II, at 64% in both reported categories versus state rates of 52.3% and 52.8%, and 11th-grade NJGPA English Language Arts, at 82% versus 76%.
