Schools in the district (with 2005-06 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics [ [http://nces.ed.gov/ccd/schoolsearch/school_list.asp?Search=1&DistrictID=3402580 Data for the Caldwell-West Caldwell Public Schools] , National Center for Education Statistics.

There are four elementary schools between the two towns, all of which are named after American presidents: [http://www.cwcboe.org/Jefferson/index.htm Jefferson School] (273 students), [http://www.cwcboe.org/Washington/index.htm Washington School] (415 students) and [http://www.cwcboe.org/Wilson/index.htm Wilson School] (257 students), all located in West Caldwell; and [http://www.cwcboe.org/Lincoln/index.htm Lincoln School] (231 students), located in Caldwell. Students are districted to go to a certain one of the four elementary schools between Kindergarten and fifth grade, based on where they live. Presently, based on the local boundaries, and where the schools lie in relation to the borders of the two towns, students from portions of both towns attend Lincoln, Jefferson, and Washington schools, which are all located quite close to the border between the two Caldwells. Wilson School, however, is located in the middle of southern West Caldwell near its border with Roseland and relatively far from Caldwell; so its students are exclusively from the town of West Caldwell, in its western-most neighborhoods.

For grades six through eight, all students in both Caldwell and West Caldwell attend [http://www.cwcboe.org/GCMS/index.htm Grover Cleveland Middle School] (617 students), located in Caldwell.

All students also attend the same high school, James Caldwell High School (845 students), located in the center of West Caldwell, which is named after the Reverend James Caldwell, the same American Revolutionary War hero that the towns are named for.
