    #1 Best Private High Schools in Atlantic County

    Parent: Our son is smart, but not driven. He needed motivation to push him to achieve. He received excellent counseling, guidance, and academic help from the teachers and staff at St. A. Prep. We believe that, because he was neither a “brilliant” nor a “troubled” student, he would have fallen through the cracks at our local public school. Most of his teachers have been great. Some have been truly exceptional. The counselors and academic staff have been priceless.
    He loves his school. Bullying at St. A is non exsistant, and all the boys support and look out for one another. It might sound corny, but they truly treat each other as brothers. He is only a sophomore, but I know the next few years will be just as great!

  2. Mainland Regional High School

    • Public School
    • Linwood, NJ
    • 9-12
    • 336
    #1 Best Public High Schools in Atlantic County

    Alum: Mainland Regional Highschool is very community orientated school due to the combination of the three surrounding towns- Somers point, Linwood, and Northfield. Mainland offers a large range of clubs, sports, arts, and music which allows its students to get involved. However, Mainland needs to better prepare their students for college. More one on one with counselors and seminars on how to find the right career path may be helpful for students.

    #2 Best Public High Schools in Atlantic County

    Sophomore: Egg Harbor Township Highschool is a great place for students with different aspirations. The school offers different programs for students intrested in law, healthcare, and film making. They have a wide range of language, preforming arts, computer, and culinary classes. Teachers make it a priority to help students with classwork and questions. I would like to see an increase in extracurricular activities available to students. Go EHT Eagles!

    St. Paul School of Princeton

    • Private School
    • Princeton, NJ
    • PK, K-8
    • 15

    Parent: I am a parent of three St Paul School and Notre Dame High School graduates. Collectively, my children, my husband and I have the highest respect and praise for St Paul parish and School and the exemplary education provided. Academically and spiritually my children were developed and nurtured and the faculty and staff were partners with my husband and I in our children's growth from kindergarten on. All three children are successful in their academic and career pursuits and, more importantly, have a strong moral compass and consider the St Paul community and the many dear, lifelong friends we have made, their home and family. I highly recommend the School to Catholics and non-Catholics alike, as the value of the education, that lasts a lifetime, far exceeds the very modest tuition.

    #3 Best Public High Schools in Atlantic County

    Junior: In my opinion, my school is great. Because I live in Galloway NJ, I had to enroll in a Magnet Program at Cedar Creek in order to attend that school. Currently, I am and junior in high school. So far, everything has went so well for me. The teachers, counselors, and administrators as a whole have worked extremely well with me in order to help me do well in the upcoming years. I love my school!

    #4 Best Public High Schools in Atlantic County

    Alum: The experience at Absegami High School was a pleasant one. The overall student body is diverse and opened to different points of view. The academics at this school are rigorous to prepare students for University. The clubs are endless which are available to anyone interested in joining one. The overall student body is welcoming and kind to even the Freshman who are just entering the school. Teachers at this institution are helpful depending on the course taught, as others are not so helpful in certain subject matters. The honors classes are phenomenal in challenging students to be readily equipped with the proper learning tools for University. I would rate this school are a good educational institution for all students.

    #3 Best Private High Schools in Atlantic County

    Parent: The day we walked into Atlantic Christian School for the first time, we felt it was the right place to have our 4 year old son start school. He is now 17 and he will graduate from ACS next year! We've always felt it was the best decision we made for him. ACS has been a nurturing, safe environment. He has received a quality education and is well prepared to enter college. The faculty and staff know the students and are able to guide, counsel and encourage them. ACS was key in building his strong character and love for God. They have not only prepared him for college, but they have also prepared him for life.

    • Hammonton School District, NJ
    • 9-12

    #5 Best Public High Schools in Atlantic County

    Senior: Hammonton High School provided me with the most eclectic high school experience I could have asked for. I loved the academic environment in which I was able to prosper thanks to amazing teachers, competitive classmates, and innumerable opportunities. I was also able to compete in a competitive athletic conference as a four year member of the varsity field hockey team. I was involved in several clubs and organizations like: National Honor Society, Student Council, Executive Homeroom, Green Club, World Language Club, and Future Nurses Club- which all provided me with so many unique experiences in which I learned more than I ever expected. The only thing that Hammonton High School should change is its grade scale outline. While some of my classes have been on the AP scale, they all haven't, and it's frustrating to know that my GPA could've been approximately a whole point higher if my high school was on the ten point scale like millions of others around the country.

    • Greater Egg Harbor Regional High School District, NJ
    • 9-12

    #6 Best Public High Schools in Atlantic County

    Senior: Oakcrest high school has been a home to all different types of students. We have seen it change throughout our four year journey. From having no air, to watching most of our staff get fired, it has been a challenge for some of us. But one thing we have always had is each other. Oakcrest is like a family. Our town gives Oakcrest a ad reputation so many graduating eighth graders choose not to come here. Which is disappointing to see every year the class size getting smaller. Given this, the current teachers are always there for anyone in need. None of them will ever turn you away, they will always use all of their possible resources. The teachers are definitely one of the greater parts of Oakcrest high school. The lunch could be a bit better, but I am pretty sure that is the majority of high schools.

    #7 Best Public High Schools in Atlantic County

    Junior: My experience at ACIT, so far, has been amazing. From even just my audition to get into their Performing Arts Academy, I have made friends that I know I will keep forever. The close-knit atmosphere of the academies help you make friends that share your similar interests. However, this doesn't mean you don't make friends outside of your academy, as well! The academics I have had so far have been just the right amount of challenging, although I have heard some negative things about some of the lower-level classes. I have not directly experienced this, but I know that some teachers are sub-par at best. Overall, though, my experience has been a positive one, and I have been attending for 2 and a half years!

    #8 Best Public High Schools in Atlantic County

    Parent: ACHS is absolutely one of the greatest high schools in Atlantic County.
    The teachers truly do care, the guidance counselors actually guide! The extra curriculars and the clubs are all fantastic.
    The school is extremely clean, they have one of the most gorgeous libraries I've ever seen!
    The security does have to be there. And I am glad for that. They do their jobs. But they develop good rapports with the kids. So it's very safe. So many people have a preconceived notion of what they think the school is.
    I would highly recommend ACHS to any parent or student. The large group of ethnically diverse students is great, as they don't see one another as any different because of their race or religion. They see their friends. It is a public school; with a bit of a private school "family" feel

    • Buena Regional School District, NJ

    Alum: I loved Buena High School. At first, coming into the high school I was nervous like any other kid would be, however they students and faculty made it an easy transition. Everyone was very nice and willing to help out. I became very involved. I won many awards and joined a few sport teams and clubs. Buena has a lot to offer! It was and still is an awesome school. The two things I would like Buena to improve on could be to have more AP classes or to have a bigger variety of sports to play. That maybe hard however though because there are not many students that attend this high school.

    • Public School

    Parent: I think that Charter Tech was an excellent choice of a high school for me. It is abnormal and makes weird and talented people feel special and accepted. The teachers have helped me become more understanding and mature. They treat us like professionals and expect very highly of us. There have been points where I've considered transferring, but I realized that I fit in at this school and there would be no better place for me. I've learned a lot here, and have become one of the smartest people in my school, being in the top 10% of the senior class, and becoming one of the three CEOs of the vocal department.
