Delsea Regional High School is a four-year comprehensive regional public high school that serves students in ninth through twelfth grade from Elk Township (feeding into Delsea from Aura Elementary School, which serves grades PreK-6) and Franklin Township (from Caroline L. Reutter, which serves grades 5–6), in Gloucester County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, operating as part of the Delsea Regional School District. [5] Students from Newfield attend the district's schools as part of a sending/receiving relationship begun in September 2010 after Newfield began a process to end its prior relationship with the Buena Regional School District. [6] The school district gets its name from its location just off Delsea Drive, which runs from Westville on the Delaware River to Wildwood on the Jersey shore, hence the name Del-Sea.
As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,074 students and 87.2 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.3:1. There were 173 students (16.1% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 36 (3.4% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch. [1]
The Delsea Regional District was established and the high school opened in October 1960, before which high school students from Elk and Franklin townships had attended Clayton Middle/High School. [7] [8] The district celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2010. [9]
A report prepared in 2004 for the Franklin Township Public Schools considered the options of forming a consolidated PreK-12 all-purpose regional district, establishing both Elk and Franklin Townships as separate PreK-12 districts and leaving the current situation unchanged. The report concluded that the greatest educational and financial benefits could be achieved through the creation of a consolidated PreK-12 district that would include all three existing districts. [10]
The school was the 233rd-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 339 schools statewide in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2014 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", using a new ranking methodology. [11] The school had been ranked 235th in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 246th in 2010 out of 322 schools listed. [12] The magazine ranked the school 202nd in 2008 out of 316 schools. [13] The school was ranked 230th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state. [14] Schooldigger.com ranked the school 193rd out of 381 public high schools statewide in its 2011 rankings (a decrease of 68 positions from the 2010 ranking) which were based on the combined percentage of students classified as proficient or above proficient on the two components of the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA), mathematics (81.1%) and language arts literacy (90.1%). [15]
