Welcome to the Garfield Public Schools website. The Garfield Schools are in partnership with residents, parents, teachers, administrators, and students. The schools and families are working together to provide a successful learning experience for all students.

Administrators and teachers consistently work to update district curriculum and develop programs to remain on the cutting edge of educational issues. Staff development and support are extensive and on-going throughout the school year. Our schools have strong and supportive parent associations and an active educational foundation that enhance the mission of our district. The relationship between the schools and community is excellent and lends to the overall sense that Garfield is a great place to live and work.

The purpose of this site is to provide you with essential information about our schools and inform you on the many diverse programs the district offers to enhance your child’s academic experience. Whether you are looking for school locations, homework assignments, calendars, or testing dates, we hope that you will use this site often and feel free to share your questions, comments, and suggestions with us.

On behalf of the Garfield Board of Education and our entire faculty and staff we extend best wishes to our Garfield community for a happy & healthy school year.
