Enrollment over time

In its last year on record, 2017-18, it enrolled 15 students. That is 90 fewer than in 1998-99 (105) — the district had shrunk. It peaked at 108 in 2001-02.

What the district looks like

The largest group in both 1998-99 and 2017-18 was White students — 93% then, 80% now.

How much the mix changed

Between 2013-14 and 2017-18 the makeup of this district shifted noticeably.

That’s a larger shift than 87% of Warren County districts. The biggest moves, in percentage points:
White −9.5·Hispanic +8.1·Black +1.4

The index is half the sum of every group’s change in share, on a 0–100 scale (how it works). At a school this small, a few students moving can swing the index a lot.

Who works in this district

In 2025-26 this district reported 2.0 FTE of certificated staff. That is below the 20 FTE floor this page uses before it prints a share, so the reported counts are shown and the percentages are not. In 2017-18 the largest group among the 15 children enrolled was White, at 80%.

Administrators — 2.0 FTE reported in 2025-26. Below the share floor, so counts only.

A 0.0 in this table is a number New Jersey published: the district reported no staff FTE in that group and that role. It is not a gap in the data, and the only cells here that are withheld say so in words. New Jersey’s reporting schema has a non-binary category. It publishes a percentage for it, no count at all to go with the percentage, and then withholds the percentage — in every district, every role, and every one of the six published years, as <.1. Not one value has ever been published in it. That is a fact about what the state reports, not evidence that no such staff exist, and nothing here reconstructs the number by subtraction. This section is certificated staff only — the adults who hold a New Jersey certificate. The paraprofessionals, aides, clerical and service staff who make up a large share of the adults in a district are not here, because New Jersey collects no race and no sex for them at all: the non-certificated file has two measures and neither is a demographic one. This is not the district’s staff; it is the certificated part of it. New Jersey published an exact zero for Teacher, Special Service, Supervisors/Coordinators in 2025-26: this district reported no staff FTE in those roles at all, which is common — many districts have no supervisors or coordinators. That is a reported number, not a missing one, so there is no table for it above. Administrators is reported below 20 FTE here, so the counts are printed and the shares are not. At that size one full-time equivalent moves a percentage by five points or more, and a share built on a handful of people-equivalents reads as a finding when it is arithmetic.

FTE is fractional reported workload, not a count of employees, not payroll and not a salary figure: 2.0 FTE is not 2 people, and nothing on this page supports a reading about staffing adequacy, quality, effectiveness or need. The district figure is a derived sum of the four reported role rows — New Jersey publishes no certificated district total.

Twenty-seven years of counting the staff

New Jersey has published a certificated staff count for this district in every school year from 1999-00 to 2025-26 — 27 editions, the longest run of anything on this site. It reported 22 in 1999-00 and 2.0 FTE in 2025-26. Those two numbers are not the same measurement, and the chart below does not join them.

Each stretch is one thing NJDOE was counting. Where the line stops and starts again, New Jersey changed what a staff member is, not how many it employed — the step at the rule is bookkeeping. Through 2007-08 the figure is whole people; from 2008-09 it is fractional full-time equivalents, so a half-time teacher counts 0.5 and the number is not a count of employees. From 2019-20 NJDOE prints no total at all and this page sums the four position rows it does print, which is why that stretch begins where it does. Every figure is one day’s staffing.

What New Jersey changed, and when. Years inside one stretch may be compared with each other; across a break there is no fair comparison, and this page draws none.
FromWhat changed
2008-09NJDOE stopped counting whole people and started counting fractional full-time equivalents. Statewide, administrators read 9,187 whole people in 2007-08 and 9,026.8 FTE here, with no hiring change behind the drop.
2019-20NJDOE stopped printing an all-positions row, and published a fourth position — Supervisors/Coordinators — for the first time. From here the total on this page is our sum of the four position rows NJDOE does publish, and it counts a kind of staff the earlier stretch never counted.

What New Jersey says these numbers are — once, in twenty-seven editions

  • Every figure is one day. The report represents the number of Staff on the fifteenth school day in October each year. All Staff in public school are included (regular, vocational, alternative, charter, and renaissance schools.) NJDOE 2019-20 workbook, “Introduction and Changes” sheet. This is the only place in the whole record where NJDOE says what is being counted or on what date; the other twenty-six editions say neither, and this page carries the sentence forward to them on the assumption that an unannounced change of reference date would be extraordinary.
  • 2019-20 is also the only edition that documents its own break. For the 2019-2020 school year the certificated staff data is now presented in a downloadable Excel file that is broken down by State, County, District and School Level data. and The NJDOE no longer list genders by ethnicity in order to protect staff privacy. Every earlier edition crosses each race count by male, female and a both-sexes row; from this one the race counts and the sex counts are separate margins of the same row and cannot be crossed.

Three stretches, because New Jersey changed its race categories twice inside this record and the bands either side of a change are not the same bands. Through 2007-08 there were five categories, with Asian and Pacific Islander collected as one column and American Indian recorded with Alaskan; from 2008-09 there were seven, the seventh headed OTHER; and in 2018-19 that column was renamed Two or More Races at the same position, with no statement of whether the category changed. This page keeps them as separate stretches rather than joining them, because joining them would be a claim about who those people are that New Jersey has never made. One further rename is not drawn as a break: the fifth column is headed “Pacific Islander” through 2019-20 and “Hawaiian Native” after it, with the same seven categories either side. Shares are of the staff NJDOE reported for this district, in that edition’s own unit.

What New Jersey changed, and when. Years inside one stretch may be compared with each other; across a break there is no fair comparison, and this page draws none.
FromWhat changed
2008-09NJDOE split its five race categories into seven: Asian and Pacific Islander had been one column and became two, and a seventh column headed OTHER appeared.
2018-19NJDOE renamed the seventh column from OTHER to Two or More Races, in place, at the same position, and said nowhere whether the category itself changed. This page keeps them apart rather than deciding for New Jersey that they count the same people.

The split between teachers, administrators and special-service staff is not drawn here, and that is a finding rather than an omission. Three separate things break it. In 2005-06 New Jersey classified roughly twenty thousand staff as special services who are teachers in both neighbouring editions — statewide, teachers read 90,904 against 109,832 the year before and 110,964 the year after — so the all-positions total is comparable across that year and the split is not. In 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 NJDOE prints a both-sexes row for the all-positions line only, so there is no published district figure for any single position in those three years; adding the male and female rows would manufacture a number the publisher never printed, in the same editions where it also omits a gender row rather than printing a zero. And from 2019-20 a fourth position appears that no earlier edition counted. A share-of-staff-by-role line across all of that would be three different questions drawn as one answer.

The oldest points here are joined by a code, not by a school. This district’s 1999-00 row is matched to today’s district by its NJDOE code, and the identity record behind that match holds no evidence earlier than 2020-08-11. So a matched 1999 record confirms the code exists today — not that it named the same district, with the same schools in it, that it names now. About 8% of the oldest edition’s printed names disagree with the current record, most of them ordinary renames and a few of them reassigned codes. The match rate is high; read it as custody of a code rather than continuity of a place.

Free or reduced-price lunch

In 2017-18, 6.7% of students were certified for free or reduced-price lunch.

Suspension here since 2017-18

New Jersey has published a district suspension figure in eight school years, 2017-18 through 2024-25. It published none before that: the 2015-16 edition has no district workbook at all and the 2016-17 one has no removals sheet in it. It has published no figure at all for this district in any of them. This district has no row at all in the 2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25 files — it is absent from the publication, which is not the same as a year it recorded nothing.

Every edition, exactly as New Jersey printed it — including the changing number of decimal places, which is the publisher’s and not ours.

New Jersey withheld this district’s figure in 2017-18, printing * where the number would be. That is the state declining to publish, not a year without suspensions. It stopped withholding this row after 2021-22: from 2022-23 onward every district that has a row has a number in it. Where the figure sits in the file changed in 2023-24. Through 2022-23 the sheet had one row per district and this was that row; from 2023-24 the sheet is one row per student group and this is the group called Districtwide, then All Students. The quantity did not change and no break is drawn there — NJDOE prints it under the same column name, AnySusp_Count, in 2017-18 and again in 2024-25, with one edition in between spelling it #StudentsAnySuspension and then changing back.

What has a record, and how long

The same sheet carries seven measures and they do not all run the same length. Two of them stop after 2022-23: arrests moved to a sheet of their own that begins in 2023-24, and school days missed is not published anywhere any more.

What is not drawn here

There is no trend by student group, and this page does not draw one. New Jersey has published suspension broken out by race, sex, income and disability exactly twice — 2023-24 and 2024-25 — and it changed the categories between them. Asian and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander were separate groups in the first year and one merged group in the second; Hispanic became Hispanic/Latino; the district total was called Districtwide and is now All Students. Seven labels came through unchanged. Two points would not be a trend even if all fifteen had, and the two race categories cannot be added back together for the earlier year because either of them may be withheld. The section below shows the current year in full. When New Jersey publishes a third edition on the categories it uses now, this becomes a series and gets a chart; until then it is two years, and they are shown as two years.

The same boundary is why only suspension has a line above it. Students referred to police and students involved in an incident leading to arrest are published by student and by grade only from 2023-24, on sheets that did not exist before — and the arrest sheet names its own columns ArrestedCount in one edition and PoliceCount in the next. An arrest figure does appear on the removals sheet from 2017-18 to 2022-23, but joining it to the later sheet would be this site deciding that two differently-named columns on two different sheets are one measure, which is exactly the decision the publisher declined to make.

On reading one district back to 2017-18. The evidence that a district code names this district begins 2020-08-11. For the editions before that, a code that resolves is a verified code rather than a verified district: it says the number is a current NJDOE organization and says nothing about what that code named in that school year. New Jersey merges and regionalizes districts, so read the early end of this line as the record filed under this code, not as a promise that the same schools were inside it.

These are reported removals — a record of decisions adults made, one row per school year in eight separate publications. A district that suspends less may be behaving differently, recording differently, or reporting differently, and this file cannot tell a reader which. Nothing here is a safety measure or a measure of school quality, and no figure on this page is compared with a figure from any other dataset on it.
