Dwight Morrow High School is a four-year comprehensive public high school located in Englewood, in Bergen County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, operating as part of the Englewood Public School District. The school also serves students from Englewood Cliffs, who attend as part of a sending/receiving relationship.[4] Dwight Morrow high school shares its campus with the Academies at Englewood.
As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,077 students and 80.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.5:1. There were 522 students (48.5% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 113 (10.5% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1]
The Academies at Englewood is a four-year magnet high school established in 2002 that serves students in the ninth through twelfth grades from across Bergen County and shares the campus with Dwight Morrow.[5] The program was started by John Grieco (founder of the Bergen County Academies) who was brought in as district superintendent in an effort to diversify the student body at Dwight Morrow High School by attracting "more white and Asian students to the high school" from outside the Englewood community to an academically challenging, high-performing magnet program that was modeled after his Bergen County Academies, with students being admitted on a competitive basis and half coming from outside of the city.[6]

"In addition, there is a new interim superintendent, Dr. John Grieco, who is well respected in the county and who is bringing new ideas to the district. Most significantly, Dr. Grieco has drawn up a plan to start a rigorous academy with competitive admissions at the Dwight Morrow High School to try to attract the children of wealthy families who have fled to the private schools.... With Dr. Grieco's help, the Englewood district plans to open the Academies @ Englewood in September, a competitive school that will be situated on the Dwight Morris campus and that will focus on finance, pre-engineering, law and public safety and information technology. The first year, the school will accept 104 ninth-grade students, with half from Englewood and half from the surrounding communities.... The hope is to attract more white and Asian students to the high school, which is currently 97 percent black and Hispanic, and is at the center of a protracted and expensive court fight with neighboring Englewood Cliffs."
