About East Orange School District
East Orange introduces specialty-school choices at several grade levels alongside its regular address-based network. A student may follow the ordinary assignment path, enter Sheila Y. Oliver Academy in the elementary or middle years, or apply to a selective program before grade six or grade nine. The district directory lists the schools, while the relevant admissions pages explain how students gain access.
East Orange STEM Academy accepts applications from students entering grade six or grade nine. Cicely L. Tyson Community School of Performing and Fine Arts uses an application and audition process for its arts-centered program. Sheila Y. Oliver Academy serves grades three through eight, creating another specialized setting before high school. Each school has its own grade span and entry rules.
Enrollment planning begins with the address assignment, followed by any specialty application tied to the student’s next entry grade. Registration controls the default placement; auditions, applications, and other program decisions operate on separate calendars and criteria.
