Perth Amboy Public Schools Calendar 2026-2027

Perth Amboy separates early childhood from the later K–12 route. The district operates several early-childhood centers and a broad elementary network, including a dual-language school, before students divide between Samuel E. Shull Middle School and William C. McGinnis Middle School. The district’s public school list establishes the available buildings, but the precise elementary-to-middle assignment still has to come from current registration information.

High school is organized as one citywide system, without several neighborhood high-school boundaries. Perth Amboy High School includes a Freshman Academy structure for ninth grade, while the district also identifies Personalized Learning as a separate secondary setting. Those names describe grade-level or specialized organization; they should not be treated as proof of multiple interchangeable comprehensive high schools.

The meaningful transitions are early-childhood placement, the address-based elementary and middle-school assignments, and the move into the high-school system. A dual-language or specialized school name may signal a program difference, but the district must confirm admission or placement.
