Schools
Which school is this address zoned to?
Jersey City assigns a school by street and house number. The district publishes those zones in one file that looks like a map and is in fact a table: 1,705 rows covering 666 streets, one per street and house number range. This is that table, made searchable.
Read from Jersey City's own attendance zone table, revised March 2025. The district's page, the file itself. This is a copy of a public record, not advice. Zones move and schools fill up, so telephone the school with the address before you count on it.
What the table does and does not settle
It is the real thing, not a summary, and it is more precise than most people expect: streets are split by house number, and sometimes by odd and even sides. But it has holes. Some streets carry a row for kindergarten through grade 5 and a row for grades 9 to 12, with nothing in between, so the table does not say where a child goes for middle school. A few streets name two different schools for the same year group.
Where that happens, the lookup above says so instead of choosing. The building pages on this site do the same.
Only four high schools are in the table
Every row covering grades 9 to 12 names one of these 4: Dickinson, Ferris, Lincoln, Snyder. Those are the comprehensive high schools, and they are the ones an address is zoned to.
These district schools never appear in the table at all: Academy I, Dr Ronald McNair High School, Infinity Institute, Innovation High School, Liberty High School, Regional Day School. That is expected. They are selective or alternative programmes with their own applications, and getting in has nothing to do with where you live. The district calls them district-wide selective programs. McNair and Infinity score an applicant on the PSAT, grades, teacher recommendations, attendance and activities, and apply in the autumn for the following September.
Frank R Conwell School and Nicolaus Copernicus School are missing from the table too, and that is harder to explain. They are ordinary elementary schools. We think the file is incomplete rather than that nobody is zoned there.
4 rows in the file send a street to a school that does not take those grades, for instance Canal Circle to Rev. Dr. Ercel F. Webb for grades PreK3 to 8. Those rows are left out of the lookup.
Charter schools are a lottery, not a zone
11 charter schools operate in Jersey City. They are public and free, and no address is zoned to any of them. You apply, and if more children apply than there are places the school picks by random lottery. New Jersey's rules say this is not first come, first served, that the drawing is public, and that a waiting list lasts one school year only. Children who live in the district get preference, and siblings of enrolled children are usually given priority.

County schools are an application
Hudson County runs its own high schools and middle schools, open to any Hudson County resident who applies and is accepted. County Prep and the Academy of Technology Design, both at 525 Montgomery Street, and Explore Middle School on 9th Street are county schools, not Jersey City district schools, and living next door to one gives you no claim on a place.

Pre-K is its own thing
Jersey City runs free pre-kindergarten, and a family can take a place at a district school in their attendance zone or at a child care center the district contracts with. It is a separate registration from kindergarten and it opens earlier in the year. The zone table covers it: rows that begin PreK3 or PreK4 are pre-kindergarten places at that school.

What the state says each school achieved
New Jersey reads every public school once a year and publishes the result as a PDF, one per school per year. This site has read all of them it could reach and pulled out what they measure. Those numbers are below, and under every school name is the run of them year by year.
This site does not rate schools, and this is not our rating. The state gives each school a summative score out of 100 and says where that score sits against every other school in New Jersey. We publish it for one reason: the state prints the weight on every part of it, so the whole number can be taken apart in front of you, and we rebuild it from its own parts before publishing it. A figure we could not rebuild we would not print.
What goes into it, for a school with no graduating class:
- How many pupils met the state's expectations in English, 15%
- The same in mathematics, 15%
- How much its pupils grew in English over the year, 20%
- The same in mathematics, 20%
- How many of its multilingual learners made the expected progress in English, 20%
- How many of its pupils were absent for a tenth of the year or more, 10%
A high school counts its four- and five-year graduation rates in place of growth, at 20% each, and the state adjusts the weights where a measure is missing. So the weights are not the same for every school, and every one of them is printed on the school's own row below rather than assumed.
What is not in it: how many children get a free or reduced price lunch, how big the school is, how many teachers it has, what the building is like, how far it is from your door, or anything anybody said about it. A score that counted hardship would mark a school down for who walks through its door. We would not build one and the state has not built one.
Three honest warnings. The percentile compares a school against every school in New Jersey, including ones that teach different ages, so it is a rough comparison and not a close one. The state itself says not to read across the pandemic years: assessments were cancelled in 2019-20 and 2020-21, and growth was measured a different way in 2021-22, so those gaps are gaps rather than lines.
And the graduation rate is not drawn as a line here, although the figures are in the tables. Up to the 2022-23 report, the rate printed under a year is that year's leaving class. In the 2023-24 report the same column holds the year before's, and the heading says so: "4-Year Graduation Rate (Prior Year)". That is two different quantities under one column name, and a line joining them would cross from one to the other halfway along without telling you. So the rate appears where the state itself labels which one it means: in the school's score, above.
Every school here with a score for 2023-24
The state's own summative rating and summative score for 2023-24, read out of each school's report. Ordered by the rating, which is the state's ordering and not ours. 3 of the schools on this page carry no score for 2023-24, and each one says underneath its own name why. We leave a school out rather than reprint a number we cannot take apart.
The state's own reports disagree with each other in 8 places. Each year's report reprints the two years before it, so most figures appear three times and can be checked against themselves. Where two reports print different numbers for the same school and the same year, we keep the first one we read and say so here rather than pick a winner.

What the state's reports say — better than 60 schools in every 100
56.7/100
New Jersey's summative rating for Alfred Zampella School, 2023-24. The state works it out from the parts set out below and assigns the total to the school. It puts Alfred Zampella School ahead of about 60 of every 100 schools in the state.

| Chronic absenteeismThe school: 17.5% | 10% | 2.25 | |
| Added up | 56.72 | ||
The state prints 56.7. Multiplying its own parts by its own weights gives 56.72, so this page can rebuild the number rather than repeat it. Weights are not the same for every school: a high school counts its graduation rate where a grade school counts how much its pupils grew, and the state adjusts them where a measure is missing, so read the weights above rather than assuming them. Nothing about family income is in this score.
Why every line has a hole in it. 2019-20 and 2020-21 are shaded on each chart below because New Jersey cancelled statewide testing in the spring of 2020 and published nothing comparable the year after. The lines break there rather than running straight through years nobody was tested in.

What the state's reports say — better than 63 schools in every 100
58.9/100
New Jersey's summative rating for Dr. Michael Conti School, 2023-24. The state works it out from the parts set out below and assigns the total to the school. It puts Dr. Michael Conti School ahead of about 63 of every 100 schools in the state.
| What is measured | Scores | Weight | Carries |
|---|---|---|---|
| English language arts proficiencyThe school: 59.8% | 15% | 9.05 | |

| Chronic absenteeismThe school: 15.2% | 10% | 3.25 | |
| Added up | 58.92 | ||
The state prints 58.9. Multiplying its own parts by its own weights gives 58.92, so this page can rebuild the number rather than repeat it. Weights are not the same for every school: a high school counts its graduation rate where a grade school counts how much its pupils grew, and the state adjusts them where a measure is missing, so read the weights above rather than assuming them. Nothing about family income is in this score.
Why every line has a hole in it. 2019-20 and 2020-21 are shaded on each chart below because New Jersey cancelled statewide testing in the spring of 2020 and published nothing comparable the year after. The lines break there rather than running straight through years nobody was tested in.

| Added up | 31.11 | ||
The state prints 31.1. Multiplying its own parts by its own weights gives 31.11, so this page can rebuild the number rather than repeat it. Weights are not the same for every school: a high school counts its graduation rate where a grade school counts how much its pupils grew, and the state adjusts them where a measure is missing, so read the weights above rather than assuming them. Nothing about family income is in this score.
Why every line has a hole in it. 2019-20 and 2020-21 are shaded on each chart below because New Jersey cancelled statewide testing in the spring of 2020 and published nothing comparable the year after. The lines break there rather than running straight through years nobody was tested in.

| Added up | 44.35 | ||
The state prints 44.4. Multiplying its own parts by its own weights gives 44.35, so this page can rebuild the number rather than repeat it. Weights are not the same for every school: a high school counts its graduation rate where a grade school counts how much its pupils grew, and the state adjusts them where a measure is missing, so read the weights above rather than assuming them. Nothing about family income is in this score.
Why every line has a hole in it. 2019-20 and 2020-21 are shaded on each chart below because New Jersey cancelled statewide testing in the spring of 2020 and published nothing comparable the year after. The lines break there rather than running straight through years nobody was tested in.

| Added up | 13.13 | ||
The state prints 13.1. Multiplying its own parts by its own weights gives 13.13, so this page can rebuild the number rather than repeat it. Weights are not the same for every school: a high school counts its graduation rate where a grade school counts how much its pupils grew, and the state adjusts them where a measure is missing, so read the weights above rather than assuming them. Nothing about family income is in this score.
Why every line has a hole in it. 2019-20 and 2020-21 are shaded on each chart below because New Jersey cancelled statewide testing in the spring of 2020 and published nothing comparable the year after. The lines break there rather than running straight through years nobody was tested in.

What the state's reports say — better than 50 schools in every 100
50/100
New Jersey's summative rating for Explore Middle School, 2023-24. The state works it out from the parts set out below and assigns the total to the school. It puts Explore Middle School ahead of about 50 of every 100 schools in the state.

The state prints 50. Multiplying its own parts by its own weights gives 49.98, so this page can rebuild the number rather than repeat it. Weights are not the same for every school: a high school counts its graduation rate where a grade school counts how much its pupils grew, and the state adjusts them where a measure is missing, so read the weights above rather than assuming them. Nothing about family income is in this score.
Why every line has a hole in it. 2019-20 and 2020-21 are shaded on each chart below because New Jersey cancelled statewide testing in the spring of 2020 and published nothing comparable the year after. The lines break there rather than running straight through years nobody was tested in.

What to ask before you sign
- Telephone the school the lookup names and read them the address. Zones move.
- Ask whether it is at capacity for the year group you need, and what happens if it is.
- If you are counting on a charter, find out when its lottery opens. Missing a winter deadline costs you a year.
- If the table has no middle school row for your street, ask the district where the children from your elementary school go next.
What we do not do
We do not rate or rank schools. The score above is New Jersey's, with New Jersey's weights, and we print its working out so you can argue with it. We have not built one of our own and we will not: the weights in a score are where all the opinion hides, and a weight a reader cannot see is one they cannot take issue with.
We also do not publish class sizes, because the School Performance Reports no longer carry them. What each school page shows instead is pupils for every teacher, which is a different thing: it counts every teacher in the building, not the children in one room. We do not list private schools, and we cannot tell you whether a school has a place free.
Where this comes from
53 public schools in Jersey City are published here. A school appears only where the federal directory says it is open and at least two of three records agree on where it stands, within 500 feet. That rule earns its keep: the federal file puts Frank R. Conwell School about 700 feet from its own address, and the state file puts Explore Middle School a mile from its own address. Each is wrong where the other is right. Checked 2026-10-16.
A weekly note about downtown
One email a week: what changed downtown, what opened, what is being built, and which buildings we have added. No spam, and you can leave at any time.
