Rutherford School District

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rutherford School District is a comprehensive community public school district that serves students in kindergarten through twelfth grade from Rutherford, in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States.

Public education began in Rutherford prior to 1900, but the oldest permanent school structure was the Park School, built in 1902. It is currently the home of the Rutherford borough hall, on Park Avenue.

Rutherford formerly had three "neighborhood" schools for grades K-5 (Washington, Lincoln, and Sylvan) which fed into two "magnet" schools for 6-8. The magnet schools also served as elementary schools for their neighborhoods. Sylvan School was closed at the end of the 2004-2005 school year and is to become a handicapped preschool, as well as office space for the special services department.

Pierrepont and Union, as of September 2005 will serve students from grade 4 through grade 8, while the other two schools will service grades K-3. As of 2005, the expansion work on Lincoln and Washington was completed; work on Union and Pierrepont is not expected to be completed until sometime in 2007.
