Summary:
The Greater Egg Harbor Regional High School District in New Jersey is home to three high schools: Absegami High School, Cedar Creek High School, and Oakcrest High School. While the district as a whole is underperforming compared to the state, with all three schools ranking in the bottom half of New Jersey high schools, Cedar Creek High School stands out as the strongest performer in the district.
Cedar Creek High School has the highest statewide school ranking, with a rank of 186 out of 426 New Jersey high schools for the 2023-2024 school year, and is the only school in the district rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. It also has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science compared to the other two schools. In contrast, Oakcrest High School seems to be the weakest performer in the district, with the lowest statewide ranking and the only school in the district rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Despite the district's overall struggles, all three high schools have a 91.1% four-year graduation rate for the 2022-2023 school year, which is above the state average. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, with proficiency rates in most subjects falling well below the state averages and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%. The significant variation in free/reduced lunch rates across the schools suggests potential socioeconomic disparities within the district, which may be contributing to the academic performance gaps.
