New Jersey school districts by enrollment

653 of the 18,050 school districts ranked nationally on this measure are in New Jersey. The highest-placed is Newark Public School District, 134 in the country.

Ranks in this table are national. A rank recomputed inside one state would read as a different number for the same school district on its own page, which is how a ranking stops being a fact and becomes a page-level opinion.
