The Green Township School District is a comprehensive community public school district that serves students in kindergarten through eighth grade from Green Township, in Sussex County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[3][4][5][6]
As of the 2023–24 school year, the district, comprised of one school, had an enrollment of 401 students and 42.7 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 9.4:1.[1]
The district has participated in the Interdistrict Public School Choice Program since its inception in 2013,[7] which allows non-resident students to attend school in the district at no cost to their parents, with tuition covered by the resident district.[8] Available slots are announced annually by grade.[9]
Public school students in ninth through twelfth grades attend Newton High School in Newton, together with students from Andover Borough and Andover Township, as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Newton Public School District.[10][11] As of the 2023–24 school year, the high school had an enrollment of 723 students and 60.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.1:1.[12]
The earliest school in Green Township was established near Huntsville in 1790, and there were four schools in the township by 1902, including in the Tranquility section. A school in Huntsville that had been constructed in 1865 was in the path of the route of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad's Lackawanna Cut-off, so the company agreed to arrange for the construction of a new school facility.[13]
The district had been classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "I", the second-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.[14]
