Branchburg Central Middle School ranks significantly higher than Somerville Middle School in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings, placing in the top third of New Jersey middle schools. It also has higher proficiency rates than Somerville across most NJSLA test subjects and grade levels, often exceeding the state average. Additionally, Branchburg Central has a lower chronic absenteeism rate and spends more per student than Somerville.
