OVERVIEW OF SUMMIT Located in Union County, New Jersey, 25 miles outside of New York City, Summit offers a diverse and culturally rich community.

Summit is bordered by Millburn, Chatham and Chatham Township, New Providence, Berkeley Heights, Mountainside and Springfield Township. At the heart of Summit’s fine offerings is the city’s public school system.

SHS RANKINGS Each year, in late summer, national and local high school rankings are published by a variety of sources. While, SHS looks at success factors such as SAT scores, AP test scores and college acceptances, rankings such as NJ Monthly, The Washington Post and Newsweek use different criteria and methodology. Below are three charts of data with information for the 2015 rankings. 5 | Page 6 | Page 7. PRE-SCHOOL/KINDERGARTEN ● What is Summit’s pre-school program? The Summit Public Schools provide program options for students classified as pre-school disabled. Students may be placed in a pre-school disabled class that can accommodate up to 12 classified students, or an integrated pre-school program, which is a regular education program that includes non-disabled and classified students. The non-disabled students are chosen by a lottery system. 7 | Page ● How has pre-school grown since the state imposed this requirement? All districts have had to comply with the provision of pre-school programs for children with disabilities to be in compliance with state mandates. The eligible population in Summit has grown from four half-day sections in 2001 to six and one half-day sections and one full-day section in 2009-2010. ● What is Summit’s Kindergarten program? The Summit Public Schools provides a half-day kindergarten program at the Jefferson and Wilson Primary Centers. This program is available at no charge to district kindergarten parents. Both AM and PM sessions are offered. In addition, a tuition-based, full day kindergarten program is available at the Jefferson and Wilson Primary Centers. A tuition-based, full-day kindergarten option is available via lottery and provides a comprehensive enhancement to the half-day kindergarten curriculum. The number of sections available is determined by approval of the Board of Education after considerations that include availability of space, community interest, and lottery selection. During the 2015-2016 school year, three sections were held at each of the Wilson and Jefferson Primary Centers; six full day class in total. 8. SPECIAL EDUCATION ● What is our current special education enrollment? Special education enrollment for 2014-2015 was 461. This number includes students who are placed in out-of- district programs, but does not include students who receive speech services only. Figure 1 Special Education Students on top of Regular Ed enrollments 8 | Page ● How many out-of-district placements does Summit have? In the 2015-16 school year, Summit has 33 students, whose special needs require their placement at schools outside the district. Total out-of-district tuition costs are approximately $2.4M. What is the average cost of an out-of-district placement, not including transportation? The average cost of an out-of-district placement is $65,000 per year. ● What does “inclusion” mean as it relates to special education? Under state law, school districts must provide students with disabilities a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) in the “least restrictive environment." This mandate requires that special education students, , be educated or “included” in the same classroom setting, to the degree possible, as regular education

  • Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference
    NORTHWEST JERSEY ATHLETIC CONFERENCE SCHOOL DIRECTORY 2013-14 http://www.nwjerseyac.com Sportsmanship is our Priority 1 ABOUT THE NORTHWEST JERSEY ATHLETIC CONFERENCE The Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference was formed during the 2008-09 school year, as a result of the realignment of the conferences in Northern and Central New Jersey by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Association (NJSIAA). The NJAC consists of schools in all of Morris and Sussex Counties. All the schools in Sussex County were part of the Sussex County Interscholastic League (SCIL). The schools in Morris County were part of three conferences, depending on enrollments: • Colonial Hills Conference (CHC) • Iron Hills Conference (IHC) • Northern Hills Conference (NHC) The schools were realigned under a plan by the NJSIAA to save costs on transportation and to restore the rivalries between various schools in the area. It gives a chance for neighboring schools to play each other. The NJSIAA had spent a year researching the details and learned that many conferences had schools in three or four counties. For example, the Northern Hills Conference had schools in Morris, Essex, and Passaic Counties. In December 2008, Hackettstown, not wanting to travel long distances and make sure that student athletes do not lose time in class, decided to leave the Skyland Conference, which consists of schools in Hunterdon, Warren, and Somerset Counties, and join the NJAC, so that they could play schools that are closer to the Warren County high school. During the 2010-11 school year, North Warren Regional also cited that they did not want to travel long distances and decided to leave the Skyland Conference to join the NJAC during the 2012-13 school year.
