thumbnail Nutley Public Schools are a comprehensive community public school district that serves students in Kindergarten through twelfth grade from Nutley, in Essex County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2011-12 school year, the district's seven schools had an enrollment of 3,934 students and 288.4 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.64:1.〔(District information for Nutley School District ), National Center for Education Statistics. Accessed October 15, 2014.〕 The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "FG", the fourth-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.〔(NJ Department of Education District Factor Groups (DFG) for School Districts ), New Jersey Department of Education. Accessed October 15, 2014.〕 ==Awards and recognition== The district was selected as one of the top "100 Best Communities for Music Education in America 2005" by the American Music Conference.〔(Best 100 (101!) Communities for Music Education in America, 2005 ), accessed December 12, 2006.〕 NAMM named the district in its 2008 survey of the "Best Communities for Music Education", which included 110 school districts nationwide.〔("NAMM Foundation Names the 'Best Communities for Music Education'" ), NAMM, April 30, 2008. Accessed November 13, 2009.〕 The district was also named in NAMM's 2009 survey of the "Best Communities for Music Education", which included 124 school districts nationwide.〔("Nationwide Survey Finds the 'Best Communities for Music Education' in U.S." ), NAMM, April 16, 2009.

Popular in both the elementary and middle schools is the "Academically Speaking" county competition, which tests knowledge of almost all subjects and pits a carefully selected town-wide team against others from towns such as Bloomfield, Livingston, and Montclair. Nutley's teams have routinely finished in the semi-finals or finals, and their middle school team won for the first time in 2007. It also won the competition in 2012.〔("Nutley's Walker Middle School wins competition" ), ''Nutley Sun'' June 14, 2012. Accessed April 3, 2013〕 Nutley also sends two representatives to compete for a spot in the Scripps National Spelling Bee and one for the National Geographic Bee. They have an active "Forensics" program in both the middle and elementary schools, in which talented students dramatize famous fictional works, and finish well in the semi-statewide MathCounts competition, finishing in the top half among some of the top schools in northern New Jersey two years running. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nutley Public Schools」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
