The Kenilworth Public Schools are a comprehensive community public school district that serves students in Pre-Kindergarten through twelfth grade from the borough of Kenilworth, in Union County, New Jersey, United States.
The district participates in the Interdistrict Public School Choice Program at David Brearley High School, having been approved on November 2, 1999, as one of the first ten districts statewide to participate in the program.[3] Seats in the program for non-resident students are specified by the district and are allocated by lottery, with tuition paid for participating students by the New Jersey Department of Education.[4] Each school year, the 15 slots are available for seventh grade and five slots in ninth grade. Vacant slots will be available in grades 8, 9 and 10. A lottery will be used to select attendees if there are more applicants than available slots. Prospective Choice participants must be residents of Union County eligible for placement in grades 7-10 who were enrolled in a public school during the full year prior to entry to the Kenilworth Public Schools.
Public school students from Kenilworth attend David Brearley High School, as well as from Winfield Township, who attend as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Winfield Township School District.[5]
As of the 2008-09 school year, the district's two schools had an enrollment of 1,374 students and 103.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.3.[1]
The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "DE", the fifth highest 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.[6]
