For many years, after graduating from Maywood Avenue School, students in public school for [[ninth grade|ninth]] through [[twelfth grade]]s had attended [[Hackensack High School]] in [[Hackensack, New Jersey|Hackensack]], as part of a [[sending/receiving relationship]] with the [[Hackensack Public Schools]], together with students from [[Rochelle Park, New Jersey|Rochelle Park]] and [[South Hackensack, New Jersey|South Hackensack]]. Before that, they had been a sending district to Bogota High School. In March 2020, the district received approval from the [[New Jersey Department of Education]] to end the relationship it had established with Hackensack in 1969 and will begin transitioning incoming ninth graders to [[Henry P. Becton Regional High School]], which serves students from [[Carlstadt, New Jersey|Carlstadt]] and [[East Rutherford, New Jersey|East Rutherford]], beginning in the 2020–2021 school year. The transition would be complete after the final group of twelfth graders graduates from Hackensack High School at the end of the 2023–2024 school year.<ref>Stoltz, Marsha A.

Accessed April 6, 2020. "Maywood high school students will have four years to phase out of Hackensack High School and into Henry P. Becton Regional High School in East Rutherford. The process will begin in September, when current Maywood eighth-graders will be the first to attend Becton as freshmen, according to a March 7 joint announcement by the superintendents of the two districts.... The two districts signed a seven-year send/receive contract in 2010 with a per-pupil tuition of $13,125 and a 2% yearly increase. In January 2018, Maywood paid Hackensack's school district $14,781 per student, or $3.7 million for 249 students. It rejected a three-year contract proposed by Hackensack of $15,076 per student the first year and a 5% increase the second.... Maywood eventually agreed to a 10-year contract with Becton at $10,500 per student, with a 2% increase for the fifth contract year and a cap of $11,800 by the 10th year. Becton now has students from East Rutherford and Carlstadt."</ref><ref>[https://www.nj.gov/education/legal/commissioner/2020/82-20.pdf ''Board of Education of the Borough of Maywood, Bergen County, Petitioner, v.
