Summary:
Seven schools in 08902, serving grades PK–12 in the North Brunswick Township School District, serve 5,599 students. The four elementary schools offer the clearest school-to-school comparison: together, their 2025–2026 results averaged 41%, compared with 48% for the state, a 7-point gap. Results differ substantially by school, and the clearest area-wide concern is that middle-school math results are especially far below state rates on general-grade tests.
Arthur M. Judd and John Adams stand out among the elementary schools, while Parsons is consistently lowest. Judd led in third-grade ELA at 53% and math at 49%, and its four-result average of 48% matched the state average. John Adams led in fourth-grade ELA at 49% and math at 52%, both above state results. Parsons had the lowest result in all four comparisons; its average was 29%, 19 points below Judd’s. At North Brunswick Township Middle School, advanced math results were much stronger than general-grade math: Algebra I was 74% versus 40% statewide, and Geometry was 89% versus 86%, while eighth-grade general math was 7% versus 23%.
Elementary results improved modestly overall, but individual scores varied: the average rose 1 point from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, and the gap with the state narrowed by 3 points. SchoolDigger’s recent percentile rankings rose at all four elementary schools—by 11 points at Livingston Park and 8 at Judd—but fell 12 points at the middle school. As context, all schools report free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–2025; rates ranged from 43% at John Adams to 71% at Parsons. Student-teacher ratios ranged from 7.9 at Livingston Park to 12 at the high school. The high school’s chronic absenteeism was 24%, above the 14% state rate, while graduation was 88%, close to the state’s 89%. Comparisons are more limited for middle and high schools because those grade spans have fewer schools.
