[2] It is Onslow County's middle school magnet program for math, science and technology.
The doors reopened in the fall of 1998 as New Bridge Magnet school for math, science and technology.
Since opening, New Bridge Middle's testing profile has demonstrated high academic gains for students.
[6] Reusing all of the exterior walls, the school was reopened again in 1941, years prior to the 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education decision by the US Supreme Court that required desegregation[7] and decades before actual racial integration in eastern North Carolina.
In the 1960s, Jacksonville Senior High School moved to its current location on Henderson Drive.
New Bridge was opened with the purpose of reducing overcrowded conditions in other area middle schools.
In order to attend, students and parents must agree to support the school's expectations of high achievement and the uniform dress code.
From 1998 to 2010, the transportation department provided door-to-door bus service in a manner similar to all other school.
The model reports achievement in three forms: 1) proficiency, 2) Annual Measurable Objectives (AMO), and 3) academic growth.
The results from these tests are contained within the READY Accountability profile for New Bridge Middle School.
North Carolina and Onslow County began using the current NC Standard Course of Study in 2012–13.
The revised achievement levels assist schools in identifying students who are both prepared for the next grade and are career/college ready.
Students who score at this level may get on track for career and college readiness with additional academic support.
Federal Annual Measurable Objectives (AMO) are calculated using Career and College Readiness Standards (Achievement Levels 4–5).
Altogether, New Bridge Middle School has 46 targets for the purpose of calculating Annual Measurable Objectives (AMO).
The AMOs for math that were “not met” included: all, white (W), economically disadvantaged (EDS), students with disabilities (SWD) and academically intellectually gifted (AIG).
