About Scotch Plains-Fanwood Public Schools
Scotch Plains-Fanwood is in a phased transition toward keeping fifth grade in its elementary schools. Preschool is centralized at La Grande School, while the fifth-grade map remains mixed.
Brunner currently retains grade five. School One and Evergreen continue to send fifth graders to Malcolm E. Nettingham Middle School, while Coles and McGinn send fifth graders to Terrill Middle School.
The transition year depends on the elementary school: Brunner students remain through fifth grade and move at grade six, while students from the other four schools change campuses one year earlier. The district’s longer-term direction is a K–5 elementary model across all five schools, so the current entry year and school-specific notice remain essential.
