Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use American English Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox school district Atlantic City School District is a comprehensive community public school district in Atlantic City, in Atlantic County, New Jersey, United States. The district serves students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade.[1]

As of the 2020–21 school year, the district, comprised of 11 schools, had an enrollment of 6,553 students and 617.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.6:1.[2]

Students from Brigantine, Longport, Margate City and Ventnor City attend Atlantic City High School as part of sending/receiving relationships with the respective school districts.[3][4]

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "A", the lowest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.[5]

History

In 1948, students had choices to attend schools. That year Noma Jensen of the Journal of Negro Education stated the district had "loose boundary lines".[6] In 1948, there were three schools earmarked to African-Americans with all of the teachers being African-American, and there was one African-American teacher at Atlantic City High School. This was in an era of de jure educational segregation in the United States.[6]

Starting in 2014, the dissolution of some charter schools was a factor in an increase in the student population, despite a decline in casino jobs.[7]
