• The Flemington-Raritan School District (FRSD) is a regional, pre-K-8 district serving the children, parents and residents of Flemington Borough and Raritan Township, an area encompassing 38 square miles. Our nearly 3,100 students, 375 certified staff, and our support staff are housed in six buildings: four elementary (pre K-4), an intermediate school (5-6), and a middle school (7-8).  Our graduates complete their 9-12 education at the Hunterdon Central Regional High School.

    Together with our parents, we provide high quality instructional programs that seek to meet each child’s individual academic, social, and emotional needs.  Our focus is on providing a safe and supportive learning environment that fosters intellectual curiosity, a spirit of exploration, and ample opportunities for children to be successful.  We encourage positive, social development through the Responsive Classroom approach and through frequent opportunities to work collaboratively with teachers and fellow students as part of the instructional process.  Our instructional programs are research-based, allow for student choice and differentiation and prepares students to be college and career ready.
     
    This philosophy is reflected in our mission statement: The Flemington-Raritan Regional School District values children. Together, WE:
    Foster social, emotional, and academic growth in a safe and nurturing environment.
    Respect values and traditions within our families and schools.
    Strive to respond to the needs of our diverse and changing community.
    Develop the curiosity and creativity of critical thinkers to become collaborative problem solvers who meet the challenges of a globally competitive society.
