Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 08880

Elementary schools in ZIP code 08880 include one school, Robert Morris School, a PK–8 school serving 445 students in the South Bound Brook Public School District. With no other listed schools, there is no school-to-school ranking to make; the clearest picture comes from differences among grades and comparisons with state results. The most important finding is that fourth-grade results were strong, while eighth-grade ELA and science were notably below state levels.

Fourth grade stands out at the top in 2025–2026: 61% met expectations in ELA, 15 points above the state’s 46%, and 65% did so in math, 18 points above the state’s 47%. Eighth grade is the clearest weak spot in ELA and science: its 40% ELA result was 14 points below the state’s 53%, and its 7% science result was 12 points below the state’s 19%. Eighth-grade math was an exception, at 26% compared with 23% statewide. Across the tested grades, the school’s averages were 49% in ELA, 39.9% in math versus 40.4% statewide, and 14% in science versus 23% statewide.

Results changed unevenly over the two years, rather than improving across the board. The ELA average stayed at about 49%, while the state average fell from 54% to 51%, narrowing the school’s shortfall from 5 points to 2. Math went the other way: the school average fell from 45% to 40%, shifting from 5 points above the state to about 1 point below. Science was the largest concern over time: the school average dropped from 21% to 14%, while the state average went from 25% to 23%. SchoolDigger ranked the school 667th of 1,331 New Jersey schools in 2025–2026, at the 50th percentile with 2 stars; its percentile had been 47 the year before and 51 in 2023–2024.
