The Belvidere School District is a comprehensive community public school district that serves students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade from Belvidere in Warren County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[3]

As of the 2023–24 school year, the district, comprised of two schools, had an enrollment of 580 students and 55.4 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.5:1.[1]

Students from Harmony Township, Hope Township and White Township attend the district's high school as part of sending/receiving relationships with the respective districts.[4][5][6]

As part of a cost-saving measure, Third Street School was closed after the 2018–19 school year and merged into Oxford Street Elementary School.[7][8]

The district had been classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "DE", the fifth-highest 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.[9]

The district had participated in the Interdistrict Public School Choice Program, having been approved on July 14, 2000, to participate in the program.[10] Seats in the program for non-resident students were specified by the district and allocated by lottery, with tuition paid for participating students by the New Jersey Department of Education.[11]
