East Ward Elementary was established in 2019 in the Ironbound section of Newark. The school consists of roughly 700 students ranging in grades Pre-K-5. We will increase a grade level each year until 8th grade. It is our vision, as a school community, to build a school where each child is prepared to accept responsibility for their academics and behavior to teach students to respect everyone, regardless of race, nationality, economic status, or ability.
