Bridgewater Elementary Schools Ranked Among The Best In N.J.

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — The Township's elementary schools were ranked among the best in the state recently.

Niche.com released its annual rankings of the best elementary schools in the country and throughout New Jersey. (Click here for the full list.)

Niche examined data from the U.S. Department of Education, along with test scores, college data and ratings from Niche users. The methodology for each ranking varied. (Click here for more information on how Niche calculates its rankings.)

According to Niche, Bridgewater-Raritan Regional schools were ranked as follows:

• 107th: Hamilton Elementary School
• 136th: Crim Elementary School
• 149th: Milltown Elementary School
• 205th: Bradley Gardens Primary School
• 217th: Van Holten Primary School
• 252nd: Adamsville Primary School
• 353rd: John F. Kennedy Primary School

Niche assigns a standardized score for each factor, which is then weighted before an overall score is calculated for each school district. The overall scores are again standardized, and some districts are disqualified from receiving a final letter grade if there isn’t enough data. School districts are then ranked numerically and assigned grades.
