The School District of the Chathams consists of six schools and nearly
four thousand students. Initially two separate districts, Chatham
township and Chatham Borough, it was consolidated in the mid-eighties to
ensure students needs were met at every level. Primary schools include
Milton Avenue School, Southern Boulevard School, and Washington Avenue
School, all of which serve kindergarten through third grade students.
Lafayette School serves fourth and fifth graders. Chatham Middle School
serves sixth through eighth graders, and Chatham High School serves
ninth through twelfth graders. As a welcoming activity, each school
designates a PTO member to help take care of new families moving into
the district. It's a nice touch that's only available with smaller
districts like this one, and it can be helpful when you're not sure
where to turn after purchasing Chatham real estate. With a variety of
extracurricular activities at every level, high test scores, and the
incorporation of lots of exciting technology, this is one district that
serves its students well.
If you choose not to enroll your child in public school, there are a
number of private schools in and around the area.

The Long Hill Township School District serves one thousand eighty-six students in our three schools. The New Jersey Report Card provides the public with an opportunity to compare our schools in relation to state averages in a large number of subjects. The state requires this to be done by school, not by district; hence each school has its own report card.
