Rosa L. Parks School of Fine and Performing Arts
The Rosa L. Parks School of Fine and Performing Arts is a four-year public high school in Paterson in Passaic County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, serving students in ninth through twelfth grades as part of the Paterson Public Schools. In October 1986, Rosa Parks honored the school family at the opening ceremony by cutting the ribbon. To date, it is the only high school in the United States named after her.The school provides training in each of eight art majors: Commercial Art, Fine Art, Dance, Drama, Vocal, Instrumental, Piano, and Communication Arts (formerly known as Creative Writing). Communication Arts, however, is not recognized as a major, due to the fact that it is not considered a fine art anymore. Paterson residents in eighth grade can apply for admission to Rosa Parks School, with acceptance based on a competitive audition process, which may include a submission of an art or writing portfolio.As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 252 students and 27.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 9.3:1. There were 132 students (52.4% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 2 (0.8% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
