Oakcrest High School is a comprehensive four-year public high school located in Hamilton Township, in Atlantic County, New Jersey. The school is part of the Greater Egg Harbor Regional High School District. The school name was chosen based on its site on the crest of a hill amid oak trees.[2] The school serves students from Hamilton Township and Mullica Township, and the sending districts of the City of Port Republic and Washington Township (in Burlington County).[3] As of the 2005-06 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,699 students and 130.4 classroom teachers (on a FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.0.[1] The school was the 254th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 316 schools statewide, in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2008 cover story on the state's Top Public High Schools. The school was ranked 232nd in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.[4] The school has a variety of programs to suit a diverse student body, including Special Needs, a "High School-to-Work" program, College Preparatory, Advanced Placement Program (AP), and Performing Arts training.
