We welcome English language learners and provide special education services as part of our elementary program.

Blanquita B. Valenti Community School opened in September 2023 as one of the newest schools in New Brunswick Public Schools. We are a K-8 school on Jersey Avenue and the home of the Blanquita Blue Jays. We are a Title I school and a Silver Tier Future Ready Certified school. Our Student Support Center connects families to district resources, and our school-family compact, available in English and Spanish, sets out shared responsibilities for home and school. Students take part in athletics, our school has a designated anti-bullying specialist, and families can join district Parent University sessions and wellness clinic events across New Brunswick.

Central Jersey College Prep Charter School (CJCP) is a tuition-free public charter school for kindergarten through grade 12, with a New Brunswick campus among our buildings. We were named a National Blue Ribbon School in 2016 and a National School of Character in 2020. Admission is by weighted public lottery each February, open to New Jersey students with preference for families in Franklin Township, New Brunswick and North Brunswick. Our curriculum centers on college preparation, math and science, with arts, languages and social studies alongside. Upper school students choose from more than 18 AP courses and more than 10 dual enrollment courses through Raritan Valley and Middlesex community colleges, middle schoolers can take high school courses, and we run evening and weekend SAT prep. Counselors lead a College Mentoring Program in small groups of four to seven students. We offer gifted and talented services, and our special education department provides IEP and 504 supports, related services and inclusive instruction. Middle and high school athletes compete in volleyball, soccer, basketball, wrestling, swimming, cross country, baseball, softball, tennis, golf and cricket, and free and reduced-price meals are available.
