The Brigantine Public Schools is a community public school district that serves students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade from Brigantine, in Atlantic County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[3][4][5][6]

As of the 2022–23 school year, the district, comprised of one school, had an enrollment of 392 students and 59.2 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 6.6:1.[1]

In the face of declining district enrollment, which had been close to 800 in the 2010-11 school year, the district consolidated the two connected schools to have them operate as one.[7]

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.[8]

Students in public school for ninth through twelfth grades, along with those from Longport, Margate City and Ventnor City, attend Atlantic City High School in neighboring Atlantic City, as part of sending/receiving relationships with the Atlantic City School District.[9][10] As of the 2022–23 school year, the high school had an enrollment of 1,764 students and 146.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.0:1.[11]

Brigantine Elementary School was recognized by Governor Jim McGreevey in 2003 as one of 25 schools selected statewide for the First Annual Governor's School of Excellence award.[12]

Board of education

The district's board of education is comprised of seven members who set policy and oversee the fiscal and educational operation of the district through its administration. As a Type I school district, the board's trustees are appointed by the mayor to serve three-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with either two or three members up for reappointment each year. Of the more than 600 school districts statewide, Brigantine is one of 15 districts with appointed school districts. The board appoints a superintendent to oversee the district's day-to-day operations and a business administrator to supervise the business functions of the district. The district's budget is established by a Board of School Estimate, which includes the mayor, two councilmembers appointed by the mayor and two members selected by the board of education from among its members.[18][19][20][21]
