WINFIELD TOWNSHIP

Winfield Township is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Winfield Township school district, located in WINFIELD, NJ with about 136 students offering grade levels from Pre-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 14 teachers, Winfield Township has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The address you provided, **7 1/2 Gulfstream Avenue, Winfield, NJ 07036**, corresponds to **Winfield Township Elementary School**, the only school serving the small, residential community of Winfield. Because Winfield is a unique, self-contained township (often noted for its historic post-WWII housing development), the school serves as a central hub for the local student population, typically encompassing preschool through grade 8.

The school is known for its intimate, community-focused environment. Due to the small size of the township, the district emphasizes a close-knit educational experience where students benefit from smaller class sizes and a high degree of teacher-student interaction. The curriculum is designed to meet New Jersey Student Learning Standards, and the school prides itself on maintaining a supportive atmosphere that fosters academic growth and social development for its young residents.

Beyond academics, the school acts as a focal point for the township's civic life. After completing their elementary and middle school education at this facility, Winfield students generally attend high school in a neighboring district, such as Linden, via a sending-receiving agreement. Overall, the school is characterized by its stability, its commitment to the small-town values of the Winfield community, and its role as a vital resource for the families living within the township.
