The Rosa L. Parks School of Fine and Performing Arts is a four-year public high school in Paterson in Passaic County, New Jersey, United States, serving students in ninth through twelfth grades as part of the Paterson Public Schools. In 1986, Rosa Parks honored the school family at the opening ceremony by cutting the ribbon. To date, it is the only high school in the United States named after her.

The school provides training in each of eight art majors: Commercial Art, Fine Art, Dance, Drama, Vocal, Instrumental, Piano, and Communication Arts (formerly known as Creative Writing). Communication Arts, however, is not recognized as a major, due to the fact that it is not considered a fine art anymore. Paterson residents in eighth grade can apply for admission to Rosa Parks School, with acceptance based on a competitive audition process, which may include a submission of an art or writing portfolio.[1]

As of the 2015-16 school year, the school had an enrollment of 287 students and 32.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 9.0:1. There were 171 students (59.6% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 5 (1.7% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[2]

"Education, athletics and music proved to be his outlets at Rosa Parks School, a performing arts institution. He was named the school's top student for the 1997-98 academic year. Although Hill wasn't physically big, he played basketball, baseball and football in school, and was the captain of each team. He also played saxophone for eight years."
