GARFIELD AUXILIARY MS/HS

GARFIELD AUXILIARY MS/HS is a Title I public high school that is part of the Garfield Public School District school district, located in CLIFTON, NJ with about 41 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th 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 12 teachers, GARFIELD AUXILIARY MS/HS has a student/teacher ratio of about 3:1. 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.

GARFIELD AUXILIARY MS/HS, located at 43 Clifton Avenue in Clifton, New Jersey, is a specialized educational facility that serves as an alternative placement for students within the Garfield Public School District. Designed to support middle and high school students who require a more individualized or structured learning environment, the school focuses on providing an inclusive setting that addresses both academic and behavioral needs. By maintaining smaller class sizes and offering targeted support, the institution aims to keep students on track for graduation while fostering a supportive atmosphere that prioritizes student growth and development.

The school operates with a mission to bridge the gap for students who may struggle in a traditional comprehensive classroom setting. Through a blend of academic curriculum and social-emotional support, the staff at Garfield Auxiliary works closely with students to rebuild confidence, improve attendance, and develop the necessary skills for post-secondary success. While it is physically located in Clifton, it functions as a critical component of the Garfield school system, providing the necessary resources for students to remain connected to their home district while benefiting from a focused, auxiliary educational experience.
