The Winfield Township School District is a community public school district that serves students in pre-Kindergarten to eighth grade from Winfield Township in Union County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[3][4]
As of the 2023–24 school year, the district, comprised of one school, had an enrollment of 147 students and 17.1 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 8.6:1.[1] In the 2016–17 school year, Winfield had the 19th-smallest enrollment of any school district in the state, with 140 students.[5]
Public school students in ninth through twelfth grades attend David Brearley High School in Kenilworth, as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Kenilworth Public Schools.[6] As of the 2023–24 school year, the high school had an enrollment of 778 students and 72.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.8:1.[7]
Before the current sending relationship had been established with the Kenilworth Public Schools for township students to attend Brearley, students had attended Rahway High School until a decision by the New Jersey Department of Education in March 2000 allowed for termination of the relationship.[8]
The district had been 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.[9]
