A lower-middle-class Northern New Jersey city of about 25,000 in Passaic County about 15 miles outside of New York City. Located between Clifton and the Passaic River, it's about 10 miles North of Newark. The main ethnicities of the city include Jews, Blacks, Polish, and Carribean Latinos: Puerto Ricans and Dominicans.
Passaic is the third leg of North Jersey's infamous Tri-City Area, along with Clifton and Paterson.

Passaic is generally less ghetto/gangsta than Paterson and more so than Clifton.

A Regional High School in Little Falls NJ. The maintenance of the school is poor. 3 towns can come to this school they are Little Falls, Totowa and Woodland Park. PV is divided by snobby white kids, “ghetto” hispanics and arabs. Most of the people from Woodland Park think they are from Paterson just because their town was once called West Paterson. They like to cause fights at the school, dresses like hoes and gangsta’s. They think they are tough but they are not. They purposely get in trouble just to look tough. They could never fight anyone from Paterson! People in Paterson don’t play. Besides most of the people at PV can’t really fight but they claim they could fuck you up. Then you got people from Totowa where some of the white boys also think they are “hood” they purposely sag their pants to the point where you can see their ass. They wear tank tops and blast their music with their ear buds. You also got snobby rich white girls from Totowa who think they are the shit. You got people from Little Falls who act normal they are pretty chill to hang out with. At PV this crazy guy Setembre who is the assistant principal of discipline and goes around and takes people’s phone’s, stops students for not wearing ID’s and acts radically such as follow students to their class and watching students on his security cameras. He abuses his power he is assistant principal but he makes the rule changes around the school. So basically the actual principal doesn’t have any say or power.
Passaic Valley is a trash high school in a white town where 30% of the people try too hard to act ghetto!

A high school where 90% of the students are gay, as well as their teachers. They signed a petition so they don't have to show their face on screen because of "insecurities". And if they are in the STEM section they are extra gay.
"What school do you go to?"
"Passaic Tech i'm in the STEM program"
"Don't talk to me you fucking dweeb"

a high school that is strictly guido. The guys walk around in armami and express jeans everyday with a nextel clipped to their hip. The athletes have some of the most overinflated egos I've ever seen as half of them are on steroids anyway. The girls cause the most drama I've ever seen. I swear it's like a reality tv show straight off VH1. These retards can be found in later years at a local community college or injecting steroids in each others asses at a local gym.
Passaic Valley High School has way too many guidos and steroid abusers.

The one school in Passaic County in New Jersey where all the smart brown kids congregate and has sprinkles of white kids that think they can be brown too. They get 90% of the town's taxes to pay for their ever-growing STEM system and get more money for their sports teams than the town's public school's "healthy" lunches. All the freshman get older and the seniors look like they came straight from Paterson. Students and teachers think they're better than the other two high schools in the town, but get their drugs and booze from one of them and calls the other school pussies. The only thing they do successful in their school is getting good scores on standardized tests and everything else is either mediocre or failing.
Going to Passaic County Technical Institute is like if the kids at Wayne Hills High School were all from Paterson but richer.
