Mainland Regional High School (New Jersey)
Mainland Regional High School is a regional public high school and school district serving students in grades nine through twelve from the communities of Linwood, Northfield and Somers Point in Atlantic County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, serving a total population of over 25,000 in the three communities. The high school is located in Linwood. The school is the only facility of the Mainland Regional High School District.
As of the 2023–24 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,171 students and 106.2 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.0:1. There were 177 students (15.1% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 36 (3.1% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
The school is fully accredited by the New Jersey Department of Education.
The district participates in the Interdistrict Public School Choice Program, which allows non-resident students to attend school in the district at no cost to their parents, with tuition covered by the resident district.
In December 1958, a plan for a $2.1 million (equivalent to $22.9 million in 2024) school building was cut to $1.5 million after a review of the proposal by a pair of state agencies.
In September 1959, the three constituent districts were notified by the Ocean City School District that overcrowding would mean that it would no longer be able to continue accepting students from the communities at Ocean City High School starting in the 1959-60 school year.
The school opened for the 1961-62 school year, with rising seniors from Linwood and Somers Point given the option to complete their schooling at Ocean City High School and those from Northfield to finish up at Pleasantville High School.
The district had been 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.
