About Collegiate School

Collegiate School is a regular public school located in Passaic, New Jersey, at 22 Kent Court. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade with an enrollment of just 38 students and a student-teacher ratio of 4.7:1, providing a very personalized learning environment. With 8 full-time equivalent teachers, Collegiate School focuses on individual attention and support for each student.

While the school's MySchoolScout rating is currently 2.3 out of 10 and it ranks 62nd out of 535 schools in New Jersey, these metrics don't fully capture the unique strengths and values that Collegiate School offers. The school is situated in a large suburban area, offering students access to diverse resources within their community. Collegiate School's small size fosters close relationships between teachers and students, creating an environment where each child can receive tailored attention and support as they navigate their educational journey.

What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 38 students, Collegiate School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

With a student-teacher ratio of 4.7:1, Collegiate School offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.

As a private school, Collegiate School operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
