Defunct Catholic school in Essex County, New Jersey, United States
Marylawn of the Oranges Academy, also known as Marylawn of the Oranges High School,[3] was an all-girl, private, Roman Catholic college-preparatory high school for grades 7 through 12 located in South Orange, in Essex County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. Sponsored by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth since its founding in 1935, Marylawn was located within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark.[4] The school had been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 1962.[2]
For over ten years before it closed, Marylawn had a 100% graduation and 100% college acceptance rate.[citation needed]
As of the 2009–10 school year, the school had an enrollment of 160 students and 21.9 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a Student–teacher ratio of 7.3:1.[1]
In October 2012, it was announced that the school would close in June 2013.[5]
Since March 2018, the former site of the high school has been the home of the STEM Innovation Academy, a joint effort of Montclair State University, the New Jersey Institute of Technology, the Orange Board of Education and Orange, New Jersey.[6]
