The city of Paterson, New Jersey is home to 49 schools, including 34 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 9 high schools, and 3 alternative schools, all part of the Paterson Public School District. The district is ranked 561 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in student performance and outcomes.

A few schools stand out in the data, including School 28, an elementary school ranked 1st out of 1,347 elementary schools in New Jersey and rated 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, with exceptional performance and 100% proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, the Paterson Charter School for Science and Technology and College Achieve Paterson Charter School significantly outperform the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels.

However, the majority of schools in the Paterson Public School District face significant challenges, with low graduation rates, high chronic absenteeism, and significantly lower test scores compared to the state averages. The district's spending per student varies widely, and many schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Addressing these systemic issues will be crucial in improving educational outcomes for the students of Paterson.
