From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Midland School, located in North Branch (in Branchburg Township, New Jersey), in
Somerset County, New Jersey, United States, is a non-profit special education
school serving the individual social, emotional, academic and career needs of
children with developmental disabilities. The school serves 245 students, ranging
in age from 5 to 21 years old, from central and northern New Jersey.[1] With 245
students and 36.9 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), the school has a student–
teacher ratio of 6.6.[2]
The school was founded in 1960 to meet the educational needs of two “brain injured”
children for whom no educational program could be found.[1]
Students are placed in Midland School by their home school districts, which pay
tuition for their students to attend. Additional operating funds are provided
through the fund-raising programs of the Midland Foundation.[3]

Awards and recognition[edit]

During the 1989-90 school year and again during the 1996-97 school year, Midland
School was recognized with the Blue Ribbon School Award of Excellence by the United
States Department of Education,[4] the highest award an American school can
receive.[5][6]
