An overview of Bloomfield public schools
The federal directory lists 11 public schools in Bloomfield, NJ: 8 elementary, 1 middle, 1 high, 1 combined or other.

Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 11.1:1, similar to the statewide school median of 11.2:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.
About 47% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
