The Montclair Public Schools are a comprehensive community public school district that serves students in Kindergarten through twelfth grade from the Township of Montclair, in Essex County, New Jersey, United States. The district consists of seven elementary schools, three middle schools and one high school.
The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "I", the second-highest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.[3]

Each school has a magnet theme, which becomes the focus of the school's teaching style. Students have "freedom of choice" as to which school they want to attend.[4] School selection is not dictated based on location of residence within Montclair.[4] When registering in the district, parents rank their school preferences from highest to lowest, with preferences given for siblings of existing students and special needs.[5] School preferences are accommodated as long as space is available.
