Maywood Avenue School in Maywood, Bergen County, New Jersey, United States, teaches grades four through eight as part of the Maywood Public Schools. Part of the school was used for the Greenwood Early Learning Center which was primarily used to run Pre-K and Kindergarten programs, but as of 2008, is used for the Board offices. Voters in 2005 approved a $17.6 million program that will be partly used to renovate Maywood. Now that renovations are almost complete, the Pre-K and Kindergarten classes are in Memorial School.

As of the 2005-06 school year, the school had an enrollment of 459 students and 36.8 classroom teachers (on a FTE basis), for a student-teacher ratio of 12.5.[1]
