Eagle Academy for Young Men of Newark is an all-boys' public school in Newark in Essex County, New Jersey, United States, operating as part of the Newark Public Schools.[1] The Eagle Academy Foundation supports the educational programs of this school and other all-boys' schools in New York City. As of 2012, Eagle Academy of Newark is the only all-boys' public school in the State of New Jersey.[2] It is Newark's first single gender public school;[3] it has a university preparatory curriculum and has small class sizes.[4] It is located in the Louise A. Spencer School complex in the Central Ward.[5]
As of the 2018–19 school year, the school had an enrollment of 239 students and 25.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 9.6:1. There were 117 students (49.0% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 12 (5.0% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[6]
In September 2012 the school opened with 80 students in the 6th grade. A new grade will be added each year until the school becomes a grade 6-12 school.[1] The school anticipated having about 500 students total once the grade levels are maxed out.[4] The first principal was Vaughn Thompson, who had previously worked at the Young Scholars Academy of Bronx and had resigned from there.[2]
In 2012 the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey stated that if boys have a single gender school, girls should have the same opportunity.[2] NPS later opened Girls' Academy of Newark as the all-girl counterpart.[5]
