The Ocean City School District is a comprehensive community public school district that serves students in kindergarten through twelfth grade from Ocean City, in Cape May County, New Jersey, United States.
Students from Corbin City, Sea Isle City and Upper Township attend Ocean City High School for grades 9-12 as part of sending/receiving relationships with their respective school districts.
Merger discussions with the Sea Isle City School District in 2008 ended after the Ocean City district indicated that it did want to accept Sea Isle City's tenured teachers, which it would be required to do under state law. Sea Isle City currently spends $35,000 per student and hoped to see savings through the merger, even after adding in transportation costs.
As of the 2008-09 school year, the district's three schools had an enrollment of 2,108 students and 206.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.2.
The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "DE", the fifth highest 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.

An’ hatin’ each other for the love of God.”
