New Egypt High School is a four-year comprehensive public high school that serves students in ninth through twelfth grades from Plumsted Township in Ocean County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, operating as the lone secondary school of the Plumsted Township School District.

Contents

As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 315 students and 32.2 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 9.8:1. There were 40 students (12.7% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 14 (4.4% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch. [1]

History

Plumsted Township voters approved a December 1997 referendum under which $16.5 million (equivalent to $31.3 million in 2023) would be borrowed to build new school facilities, while the existing middle school would be converted for use as a high school. [3] Later that month, the Commissioner of Education approved the withdrawal, as the feasibility study prepared showed no negative financial impact to either district and would not substantially impact the racial makeup of the students enrolled at Allentown High School. [4] The school opened its doors in September 1999 and admitted 100 ninth-graders who would graduate in spring 2003, ending a sending/receiving relationship that had existed for more than 50 years with the Upper Freehold Regional School District under which students from the township attended Allentown High School. [5]

Awards, recognition and rankings

The school was the 151st-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. [6] The school had been ranked 193rd in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 203rd in 2010 out of 322 schools listed. [7] The magazine ranked the school 193rd in 2008 out of 316 schools. [8] The school was ranked 173rd in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state. [9] Schooldigger.com ranked the school 160th out of 381 public high schools statewide in its 2011 rankings (an increase of 12 positions from the 2010 ranking) which were based on the combined percentage of students classified as proficient or above proficient on the mathematics (80.9%) and language arts literacy (94.5%) components of the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA). [10]
