Paterson Charter School for Science and Technology

Paterson Charter School for Science and Technology is a comprehensive public charter elementary school / high school that serves students in kindergarten through twelfth grades located in Paterson, in Passaic County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The school operates under the terms of a charter granted by the New Jersey Department of Education granted in 2003, with authority to open in September 2004 with up to 178 students in grades six through nine, eventually expanding by the end of its initial charter in 2007 to nearly 500 students in grades 6 to 12. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 2014.

The school has sparked controversy, as it has been linked to the educational network of cleric Fetullah Gulen by local media.

As of the 2023–24 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,664 students and 122.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.6:1. There were 1,336 students (80.3% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 202 (12.1% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
