Summary:
The city of Little Egg Harbor, New Jersey is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in this area generally perform below the state average on standardized tests, with some standout schools and areas for improvement.
Pinelands Regional High School stands out as the largest school with 1,069 students and the highest four-year graduation rate at 91.1%. However, it has relatively low test scores, with only 58.2% proficient or better in English Language Arts and single-digit proficiency rates in Algebra I and Geometry. In contrast, Frog Pond Elementary School has stronger English Language Arts scores, though its math proficiency still lags the state average.
Across the district, chronic absenteeism rates are high, ranging from 16.6% at both Pinelands Regional High School and Frog Pond Elementary School. This may be impacting student performance, which is generally below the state average. Spending per student varies, with the elementary schools receiving less funding than the high school. Addressing these areas, along with ensuring equitable resources, could be key priorities for the Pinelands Regional School District and Little Egg Harbor Township School District moving forward.
