Garwood Boro

Located at 400 Second Avenue in Garwood, New Jersey, the Garwood Borough School District operates as an active, traditional public school system set within a large suburban community in the greater New York–Newark–Jersey City metropolitan area. Operating independently outside of a charter system or supervisory union, the district maintains two operational school facilities dedicated to early childhood, elementary, and middle school education. With a focused continuum of care spanning from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, the district delivers a foundational educational experience tailored to prepare young learners for their transition into secondary education.

The district currently serves a close-knit student body of 418 children—comprising 215 female and 203 male students—with grade enrollments ranging from early childhood classes to 8th-grade cohorts. The student population encompasses diverse backgrounds, including 281 White, 105 Hispanic, 17 multiracial, 11 Black, and 4 Asian students. To ensure a well-supported educational environment, the district relies on a substantial professional team of approximately 140.7 full-time equivalent staff members. This includes roughly 66.4 full-time equivalent teachers, 14.3 instructional aides, and over 60 support personnel, offering low student-to-staff ratios across classrooms.
