Belleville, New Jersey sits just minutes from New York City in Essex County, giving it an edge that few townships its size can match. At only four square miles, the town packs a lot of character into a compact footprint, blending its deep industrial roots with the energy of a community in motion. Its name comes from the French for "beautiful town," and that heritage feels fitting given Belleville's long, layered history dating back to its 1839 incorporation.
Belleville is recognized as the Cherry Blossom Capital of America, thanks to Branch Brook Park's extraordinary collection of cherry blossom trees, which actually surpasses the famous count in Washington, D.C. Each spring, the annual Cherry Blossom Festival draws visitors from across the region for live music, cultural programming, and a celebration that has become one of New Jersey's most anticipated seasonal events.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
