How much the mix changed

Between 2021-22 and 2025-26 the makeup of this school barely moved.

That’s a smaller shift than 60% of Cape May County high schools. That roughly tracks the district overall (6.4) — a district-wide change more than a school-specific one. The biggest moves, in percentage points:
White −4.2·Black +3.4·Asian −1.3

This schooldistrict overall

Share of students certified for free or reduced-price meals, through a household application or an automatic match. The lighter line shows the district overall, for comparison. Some districts serve free meals to every student under the Community Eligibility Provision. Those districts often stop collecting household income forms, so their reported share can run below the number of low-income students they enroll. Source: NJDOE Fall Enrollment.
