Old Tappan Public School District

Located at 277 Old Tappan Road in Old Tappan, New Jersey, the Old Tappan Public School District serves as a premier educational anchor within a large suburban community in the greater New York-Newark-Jersey City metropolitan region. Operating as an independent, traditional public school district, it currently manages two operational facilities designed to deliver a tailored learning experience from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. By focusing exclusively on early childhood, elementary, and middle school education, the district creates a close-knit learning environment that builds a strong academic foundation before students matriculate into secondary education.

The district educates a vibrant student body of 755 pupils, reflecting a rich cultural composition that includes 355 White, 311 Asian, 42 Hispanic, and 35 multiracial students, alongside children from several other background identities. To support this student body, Old Tappan maintains an exceptional staffing context, employing approximately 133 full-time equivalent (FTE) classroom teachers, over 25 instructional aides, and nearly 90 specialized support staff members. With nearly 248 total staff members dedicated to daily district operations, Old Tappan Public School District ensures low student-to-educator interaction ratios, providing personalized attention and robust academic resources for every child in the district.
