Haledon School District Explained
The Haledon School District is a community public school district that serves students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade from Haledon, in Passaic County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[1] [2]
As of the 2022–23 school year, the district, comprised of one school, had an enrollment of 1,035 students and 96.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.7:1.[3]
The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "B", the second-lowest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.[4]
For ninth through twelfth grades, public school students attend Manchester Regional High School, located in Haledon, which also serves students from North Haledon, and Prospect Park.[5] [6] The Manchester district participates in the Interdistrict Public School Choice Program, which allows non-resident students to attend the district's schools without cost to their parents, with tuition paid by the state. Available slots are announced annually by grade.[7] As of the 2022–23 school year, the high school had an enrollment of 811 students and 61.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.2:1.[8]

Accessed May 1, 2011. "The state Supreme Court ruled yesterday that a Passaic County school district cannot withdraw its students from a regional high school because it would take away too many white students, resulting in a racially imbalanced enrollment. The 6-0 decision said North Haledon students must continue to attend Manchester Regional High School in Haledon because the state constitution requires education officials to prevent segregation in public schools."
