Sussex-Wantage Regional School District

Nestled in Sussex, New Jersey, the Sussex-Wantage Regional School District serves as an active educational anchor for local families, operating from its central offices at 27 Bank Street. Classified as a traditional, non-charter public school system set within a distant rural community—yet conveniently situated within the broader New York-Newark-Jersey City metropolitan region—the district delivers foundational learning across three operational schools. Serving students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, Sussex-Wantage focuses entirely on early childhood and middle-grades education, fostering academic and social development before learners transition to local high school programs.

Currently enrolling 1,159 students, the district pairs a close-knit community feel with a robust professional framework. The student body benefits from a highly supportive learning environment driven by approximately 225 full-time equivalent teachers, supported by over 74 instructional aides and a dedicated network of operational and student support staff bringing total district personnel to more than 585 staff members. This strong staffing context ensures that young scholars across Sussex and Wantage receive individualized attention, comprehensive classroom instruction, and the necessary resources to thrive throughout their formative primary and middle school years.
