The school system currently has fifty-two schools with over six thousand employees, with a per pupil expenditure of nearly $16,000, of which $8,148 goes towards classroom instruction.

In 1988, New Jersey became the first state in the nation to authorize its State Department of Education to take over local school districts that were failing according to an established monitoring process. In 1991, the city of Paterson became the second of the three troubled districts that had to cede control of its public schools to the state. The presumption was that improvement would follow.

Three events make up the meet which takes place on two different days. The idea behind the event was to help kids again mainly the Paterson ones with the sciences and mathematics. With schools mainly coming from Paterson the robotics meet should be called a Paterson meet. So far 9 events have been held, at the college.

Paterson Catholic Regional High School, the city's only remaining Catholic high school, was not a part of the Paterson Public Schools. Paterson Catholic was closed by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Paterson at the end of the 2009-2010 academic year.
