Summary:
The 08869 zip code in New Jersey is home to a single elementary school, John F. Kennedy Primary School, which serves grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 458 students. The school is part of the Bridgewater-Raritan Regional School District, a relatively high-performing district ranked 139 out of 609 in the state.
While the school district as a whole performs well, John F. Kennedy Primary School's academic metrics are mixed compared to state and district averages. The school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates for 3rd and 4th grade students are below the district and state averages, ranging from 42.5% to 46.7% proficient or better. Similarly, the school's 4th grade Mathematics proficiency rates are below both the district and state averages, at 40.7% proficient or better. However, the school's 3rd grade Mathematics proficiency rates are above the state average but below the district average.
Another area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% for the 2023-2024 school year, which may indicate challenges with student engagement and attendance. Additionally, the school serves a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 31.22%, suggesting the school population faces greater socioeconomic challenges. Despite these challenges, the school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 9.2 for the 2023-2024 school year.
