Awards and recognition
The district was selected as one of the top "100 Best Communities for Music Education in America 2005" by the American Music Conference.[4]
NAMM named the district in its 2008 survey of the "Best Communities for Music Education", which included 110 school districts nationwide.[5] The district was also named in NAMM's 2009 survey of the "Best Communities for Music Education", which included 124 school districts nationwide.[6]
Nutley's schools, much like other Essex county communities, compete in various academic competitions on town, county, state, and even national levels. Popular in both the elementary and middle schools is the "Academically Speaking" county competition, which tests knowledge of almost all subjects and pits a carefully selected town-wide team against others from towns such as Bloomfield, Livingston, and Montclair. Nutley's teams have routinely finished in the semi-finals or finals, and their middle school team won for the first time in 2007. Nutley also sends two representatives to compete for a spot in the Scripps National Spelling Bee and one for the National Geographic Bee. They have an active "Forensics" program in both the middle and elementary schools, in which talented students dramatize famous fictional works, and finish well in the semi-statewide MathCounts competition, finishing in the top half among some of the top schools in northern New Jersey two years running.
