The Clifton Public Schools is a comprehensive community public school district that serves students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade from Clifton, in Passaic County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.
From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are: A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.
[4] The district established a high school in 1906, with 40 students, with a curriculum that covered "English, Latin, Greek, German, history, mathematics, physics, chemistry, bookkeeping, shorthand, [and] typewriting."
A new building was dedicated in April 1926, by which time the school served an enrollment of 1,100.
[6] An additional overflow site, the Clifton High School Annex, was constructed at a cost of $17 million (equivalent to $24.9 million in 2024) and opened in September 2009 to accommodate 540 of the school year's 850 incoming freshmen to alleviate overcrowding.
