The Lower Cape May Regional School District in New Jersey serves students from two schools: Lower Cape May Regional High School and Richard M. Teitelman Middle School.

The high school also spends less per student at $16,326, while the middle school spends $14,823 per student.

Overall, the data suggests that the Lower Cape May Regional School District faces challenges in improving the academic performance and outcomes of its students, particularly at the high school level. Addressing factors such as chronic absenteeism, socioeconomic disparities, and overall academic achievement should be priorities for the district to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
