SCHOOL 20 is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Paterson Public School District school district, located in PATERSON, NJ with about 463 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 34 teachers, SCHOOL 20 has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1.
