About Kearny School District
Kearny keeps the elementary stage open through sixth grade. Franklin, Garfield, Roosevelt, Schuyler, and Washington are the district’s five elementary schools; students do not move to Lincoln Middle School until grade seven. After two middle-school years, the borough combines at Kearny High School for grades nine through twelve.
That 7–8 middle-school span is the feature that distinguishes the pathway. The elementary assignment shapes a longer period than in districts that transfer students after grade four or five, while the middle-school transition is comparatively short. There are no multiple high-school branches to trace: once the correct elementary school is established, the regular sequence leads to Lincoln and then Kearny High.
