Saint Patrick School is a Catholic school that was founded in 1872 in Chatham, New Jersey to serve students of the Roman Catholic parish of Saint Patrick Church with pre-kindergarten through eighth grade education. The school is operated under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Paterson.[1] Following the recent founding of Corpus Christi Church in Chatham Township the students of that parish also are served, having been served previously within the parish of Saint Patrick (prior to the establishment of the new parish).
In 2009, the school was re-accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. As of the 2009-10 school year, the school had an enrollment of 368 students and 31.6 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student-teacher ratio of 13:1.[2]
