The Greater Egg Harbor Regional High School District is a regional public high school district serving students in Atlantic County, New Jersey, United States. The district serves students from the constituent municipalities of Egg Harbor City, Galloway Township, Hamilton Township and Mullica Township, together with the districts of the City of Port Republic and Washington Township (in Burlington County) who attend as part of sending/receiving relationships.
In a referendum held on September 25, 2007, by a 3,176 - 1,719 margin, voters approved a plan to construct a third high school in the district, to be located in Egg Harbor City. The new Cedar Creek High School would alleviate overcrowding in the two existing schools and serve students from Egg Harbor City and Mullica Township. Construction was expected to start in Fall 2008 and opened to students in September 2010.
As of the 2009-10 school year, the district's two schools (at the time) had an enrollment of 3,999 students and 287 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.93.
The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "CD", the sixth 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.
