Little Ferry Public Schools
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Little Ferry Public Schools are a community public school district that serves kindergarten through eighth-grade students from Little Ferry in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States.
Since Little Ferry does not have its own high school, for grades 9-12, public school students attend Ridgefield Park High School, in Ridgefield Park only a couple of minutes away, as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Ridgefield Park Public Schools that has been in place since 1953.[1].
Two principals administer nearly 1,000 students and 77+ teachers.
