The Prospect Park School District is a community public school district that serves students in pre-Kindergarten through eighth grade from Prospect Park, in Passaic County, New Jersey, United States. The school had to expand multiple times due to its growing student body. As of the 2011-12 school year, the district's one school had an enrollment of 883 students and 69.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.80:1.〔(District information for Prospect Park School District ), National Center for Education Statistics. Accessed December 8, 2014.〕 The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "B", the second lowest 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 December 8, 2014.〕 For ninth through twelfth grades, public school students attend Manchester Regional High School, which also serves students from Haledon and North Haledon.〔(Passaic County Manchester Regional High School ), New Jersey Department of Education. Accessed March 22, 2015. "The school serves the communities of Haledon, North Haledon, and Prospect Park as well as a select number of Choice students from Bergen, Passaic and Essex Counties."〕 The school is located in Haledon. Students from North Haledon attend the district as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the North Haledon School District. The district participates in the Interdistrict Public School Choice Program, which allows non-resident students to attend the district's schools without cost to their parents, with tuition paid by the state. Available lots are announced annually by grade.〔(Interdistrict Public School Choice: Approved Choice Districts ), New Jersey Department of Education. Accessed June 5, 2008.〕 As of the 2014-15 school year, Prospect Park's share of funding for the Manchester had more than doubled in the previous decade, with property taxes for the regional district rising nearly $700 on the average home in the previous two years after a 2013 change by the Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Education to the district's funding formula that allocated costs with half based on enrollment and half based on valuation, a formula that benefitted North Haledon. Haledon and Prospect Park had argued that property valuation should be the basis for assessing district taxes, while North Haledon, with the largest property valuation, had argued that funding should be based exclusively on enrollment.〔Park, Minjae. ("Prospect Park residents appeal to lawmakers for more school aid for Manchester Regional" ), ''The Record (Bergen County)'', March 18, 2015. Accessed March 22, 2015. "At the court’s order, the state commissioner of education created a new funding formula based one-third on enrollment and two-thirds on property values. North Haledon appealed and an administrative law judge in 2011 ordered the commissioner to create a new formula, recommending it be based two-thirds on enrollment and one-third on property values. Instead, Cerf in 2003 divided the burden 50-50 between enrollment and tax base, satisfying none of the boroughs."〕 ==School== Prospect Park Elementary School had an enrollment of 883 students as of the 201-12 school year.〔(School Data for the Prospect Park Elementary School ), National Center for Education Statistics.
