STARS ACADEMY

STARS ACADEMY is a Title I public high school that is part of the Paterson Public School District school district, located in PATERSON, NJ with about 106 students offering grade levels from 9th 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 11 teachers, STARS ACADEMY 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.

STARS ACADEMY, located at 765 14th Avenue in Paterson, New Jersey, is a specialized educational institution operating under the Paterson Public Schools district. It functions primarily as an alternative school designed to provide a supportive and structured environment for students who may struggle in a traditional high school setting. By focusing on smaller class sizes and personalized attention, the academy aims to re-engage students academically and help them overcome barriers to their education, whether those challenges are behavioral, social, or credit-related.

The school’s mission is centered on character development, academic recovery, and preparing students for life beyond the classroom, whether that involves transitioning back to a comprehensive high school, graduating with a diploma, or pursuing vocational paths. By utilizing a more intimate learning environment, STARS ACADEMY prioritizes individualized instruction and mentorship, striving to ensure that every student has a pathway to success, regardless of their past educational experiences.
