These 43 N.J. school districts have fewer than 200 students (original) (raw)
By
New Jersey has more than 1.3 million students in its K-12 public schools.
Some attend schools in large districts -- Newark has more than 35,000 kids in schools. But the vast majority of N.J.'s students go to school in much smaller districts.
Based on data from the state Department of Education from the last school year and the Census Bureau, NJ Advance Media made a list of the smallest of the small school districts in the state, excluding charter schools and specialty institutions.
Is your child's district among the smallest in the state?
