Summary:
The city of Mays Landing, New Jersey is home to 7 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools. These schools serve a diverse student population and face challenges in serving economically disadvantaged students, as evidenced by high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients and chronic absenteeism.
Among the standout schools, Atlantic County Institute of Technology stands out with the highest enrollment and relatively strong graduation rates, but its test scores are below the state average. Oakcrest High School has a lower student-teacher ratio but also struggles with lower graduation rates and test scores. At the elementary level, George L. Hess Educational Complex has the second-highest enrollment but low test scores and a high chronic absenteeism rate.
The schools in Mays Landing belong to different school districts, including the Hamilton Township School District and the Greater Egg Harbor Regional High School District, both of which are ranked in the bottom half of New Jersey school districts. The data suggests that addressing the challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students and improving academic performance, particularly in mathematics, could be key priorities for the local education system.
