Woodbury City Public Schools

What Woodbury City Public Schools does

Woodbury City Public Schools is a public K-12 school district in Woodbury, New Jersey, serving approximately 1,670 students from PreK through 12th grade across four schools: three elementary schools (Evergreen Avenue, Walnut Street, and West End Memorial) and one combined Junior-Senior High School. Founded in 1881, the district operates with an 11:1 student-teacher ratio and positions itself around personalized education, smaller class sizes, and college-readiness programming. Its core academic portfolio is anchored by the AVID college readiness system — for which the Junior-Senior High School holds National Demonstration School designation — supplemented by Career and Technical Education (including a new broadcasting and media space), Pre-Kindergarten programming, special education services, counseling, food services, and before/after school programs.

The district operates as a political subdivision of the State of New Jersey, funded primarily through local property taxes, state educational aid, and federal grants rather than commercial revenue. Its operational technology stack is built on standard commercial EdTech products rather than proprietary systems: PowerSchool for student information, Naviance for college and career planning, Clever for single sign-on, Follett Destiny for library management, SchoolCafe and Nutriserve for food services, LunchTime Software for meal eligibility, InfoSnap for online registration, WeTip for anonymous safety reporting, and Google Translate for multilingual website access. Students and families also access the district through dedicated iOS and Android mobile applications.

Enrollment flows through two channels: a geographic enrollment zone for Woodbury residents, and the New Jersey Interdistrict Public School Choice program, which allows students from districts within 30 miles to enroll via the AVID pathway with state funding following each student. Recent strategic moves include the 2023 voter-approved bond referendum funding facility modernization and pre-K expansion, the 2025 launch of the Community Eligibility Provision providing free meals to all enrolled students, the cell phone-free environment policy, and CTE broadcasting space construction. The district is governed by an elected Board of Education, with day-to-day administration led by Superintendent Andrew T. Bell, Sr.
