The New Egypt Schools offer a wide range of educational programs. The district is comprised of four schools. The Plumsted Township School District is in the northeast corner of Ocean County that presently serves approximately 1110 students from preschool through 12th grade. The district is a close-knit community, yet with a diverse population of learners. The district is committed to developing a 21st century instructional program based on New Jersey Student Learning Standards, personalization, stressing mastery and providing rigorous yet differentiated instruction for all students.

Programs range from self-contained special education populations to enrichment and honors/AP classes. The district seeks to infuse technology in the classroom as well as to support learners who will utilize and apply STEAM resources in a number of academic and practical applications. The Dr. Gerald H. Woehr Elementary School offers a range of supportive services in grades PreK-5. Specialized programs include: Spanish instruction, enrichment, technology instruction and tech lab, as well as supportive and pull-out ESL instruction. The New Egypt Middle School offers unique programs that include: Spanish instruction, instrumental music instruction and a full-year band program, as well as a STEAM elective in all grades. In addition to the traditional vocational, college prep and honors courses, New Egypt High School offers students a Global Education Academy, an Engineering Academy, a Law & Justice Academy, and a Business Academy allowing students to receive specific electives to further their interests in these areas. Students are pushed to accelerate in content areas that they have special interest in. Personalized Learning is stressed as students develop their own learning plans.

The purpose of the chart below is to inform parents of choice seat availability before the application deadline in early December. After the deadline, the information will be outdated.

The Department of Education limits the number of choice seats that each district can fill. The “maximum number of new choice students that can be enrolled” tells parents how many new choice students the district can enroll in the next school year. If more than the maximum number of applications is received, a lottery will be held and a waitlist will be developed. Waitlists will be developed for all approved choice grades even if no seats are currently available. NA indicates the district is not accepting choice applications for those grades.

Maximum Number of New Choice Students that can be Enrolled: 2
