Bridgewater-Raynham is a regional school district serving the towns of Bridgewater and Raynham in southeastern Massachusetts, roughly 25 miles south of Boston in Plymouth County. Bridgewater is home to Bridgewater State University, a public university founded in 1840 as a teacher training institution, and the town's historic character reflects its origins as one of the earliest settlements in the region. Raynham, located to the south, is a largely suburban community with a mix of residential neighborhoods and commercial areas. Both towns feature single-family home values and per capita income levels that place them in the upper range of communities in the area.
