ZIP Code 08302 · Bridgeton, New Jersey
Cumberland County · 15,733 counted · 9 districts
Each percentage here is a share of the 15,733 homes counted in ZIP Code 08302, not the chance that any one address is in that district. Enrollment follows the street: two houses on opposite sides of the same road can be in different districts, and only the district office can say which.
The districts named for the early grades in ZIP Code 08302, Bridgeton, New Jersey are not the districts named for high school, and the set changes in both directions: 1 district arrives for high school only, 5 run the early grades and stop, and 3 serve both bands. 9 districts hold the 15,733 homes counted here between them, and Cumberland Regional is the largest by homes. No district here holds half the homes, so every single-name answer for this ZIP Code describes a minority of it. Districts holding under half a percent of the homes named at their own level are listed separately below and are not counted in that number.
The early grades are divided many ways
8 districts hold a measurable share of ZIP Code 08302 at this level. Bridgeton City is the largest with 7,274 homes; the smallest of them holds 315 homes. Upper Deerfield Township, Fairfield Township, Hopewell Township and 2 more districts are named here for grade school and not for high school.
Every track below is 35 cells long and stands for all 15,733 homes counted in ZIP Code 08302, so one cell is 450 homes, rounded to the nearest whole cell. Cells lit solid are the homes one district holds, and the unlit cells are the homes held by the other districts in the same list.

Have a street address?
A ZIP Code names every district that can serve the area; a street address settles which one serves a home. The Census Bureau geocoder takes an exact address and returns its school districts from the current boundary files, free and with no account.

The set of names changes in both directions
Cumberland Regional is named for high school here and for no elementary grades, and Upper Deerfield Township, Fairfield Township, Hopewell Township and 2 more districts run the early grades and no more. An address on the wrong street can therefore change district at the change of grade and land in a district that was never part of its elementary answer, while a neighbor two blocks away keeps one name the whole way through.
What one district name costs in 08302

That is the whole difference between this page and a one-line answer: the same federal file, read to the end instead of to the first row.

The lookup holds every ZIP Code area in the country with homes in it, including the ones with no page of their own.

What to do next
Ask the district office to confirm your street address: look on its site for a school locator, a find my school tool or an attendance zone map, or call the office.
A ZIP Code is a set of mail delivery routes, not a boundary: 7,938 of the 15,733 homes counted in 08302 sit outside the district holding the most of them, and the line between the two runs along streets rather than around the postal area.
District websites and phone numbers here come from the NCES Common Core of Data directory, 2024-25 school year, filed under the same district ID as the Census boundary files. Where it lists no usable website, none is printed rather than guessed.
What this site can hand you instead:
If a house purchase depends on the answer, ask the district itself for written confirmation of that exact address. A listing is not a district record, and neither is this page.
Where these numbers come from
The homes were counted in the 2020 Census and the district lines are the 2026 boundary file, so a fast-growing area may have changed since; ZIP Codes here are the Census Bureau's ZIP Code Tabulation Areas; a share is a share of homes, not the chance that one address is in a district; and a district is not a school attendance zone. Every source, file and caveat is on the method page.
