NEW JERSEY SCHOOLS IN THE NJ ARTS EDUCATION CENSUS
The widely anticipated report Keeping the Promise - Arts Education for Every Child: The Distance Traveled - The Journey Remaining was released May 10, 2012 at the historic Patriots Theater in the War Memorial in Trenton. This is the follow-up study to the 2006 New Jersey Arts Education Census report WIthin Our Power. The New Jersey Arts Education Census Project (NJAECP) is a partnership of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, the New Jersey Department of Education, the Geraldine R.

All eleven of East Brunswick's schools placed in the top 10% of all New Jersey Schools and our District Factor Group (DFG). Data measured included diversity and quantity of course offerings in Music, Art, Theatre Arts, and Dance, as well as budgeting, teacher/student ratio, enrollment, and community involvement.
