"For much of its entire 118- year history, since it broke away from Kearny's First Ward, the borough of East Newark (population 2,400) has maintained a single public school for kindergarten to grade 8 and has consistently sent its graduates to high school in neighboring Harrison.... For that reason, Smith said, the borough is exploring the possibility of sending its kids to Kearny High School. The tuition rate would be lower than Harrison's and there's room at KHS for East Newark's kids, according to Smith."
