The Bridgewater-Raritan Regional School District has experienced a breakout year. Graduation rates continue their rise, student achievement on standardized tests is improving, and programs in AP, dual enrollment, and career and technical education are growing consistently. Our school climate initiative is paying dividends, as bullying incidents have declined by more than 75%, while wellness and safety initiatives continue to be implemented in every building.
At the same time, the district is delivering on its major promises. A $155 million construction program is on time and on budget, full-day kindergarten launches in September, and later high school start times take effect next fall. All of this was accomplished while keeping the tax levy increase among the lowest in Somerset County. BRRSD is not just moving in the right direction. It is setting the standard.
