Caldwell-West Caldwell Public Schools
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Caldwell-West Caldwell Public Schools is a regional public school district serving students in kindergarten through twelfth grade from two communities in Essex County, New Jersey, United States. The communities in the district are Caldwell and West Caldwell.
There are four elementary schools between the two towns, all of which are named after American presidents: Jefferson School (246 students), Washington School (410 students) and Wilson School (257 students), all located in West Caldwell; and Lincoln School (251 students), located in Caldwell. Students are districted to go to a certain one of the four elementary schools between Kindergarten and fifth grade, based on where they live. Presently, based on the local boundaries, and where the schools lie in relation to the borders of the two towns, students from portions of both towns attend Lincoln, Jefferson, and Washington schools, which are all located quite close to the border between the two Caldwells. Wilson School, however, is located in the middle of southern West Caldwell near its border with Roseland and relatively far from Caldwell; so its students are exclusively from the town of West Caldwell, in its western-most neighborhoods.
For grades six through eight, all students in both Caldwell and West Caldwell attend Grover Cleveland Middle School (626 students), located in Caldwell.
All students also attend the same high school, James Caldwell High School (805 students), located in the center of West Caldwell, which is named after the Reverend James Caldwell, the same American Revolutionary War hero that the towns are named for.
