History

As part of a cost-saving measure, Third Street School was closed after the 2018–19 school year and merged into Oxford Street Elementary School.
The district had been classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "DE", the fifth-highest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.
The district had participated in the Interdistrict Public School Choice Program, having been approved on July 14, 2000, to participate in the program. Seats in the program for non-resident students were specified by the district and allocated by lottery, with tuition paid for participating students by the New Jersey Department of Education.
