Absegami High School is a four-year comprehensive public high school serving students in ninth through twelfth grades in Galloway Township, Atlantic County, New Jersey, United States, one of three secondary schools operating as part of the Greater Egg Harbor Regional High School District. The student body comes from Galloway Township.〔(Absegami High School 2014 Report Card Narrative ), New Jersey Department of Education. Accessed March 23, 2015. "A most positive and strong relationship exists with the Galloway Township School District which sends students to Absegami High School thus providing a seamless transition into ninth grade."〕 As of the 2013-14 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,537 students and 119.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.8:1. There were 521 students (33.9% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 180 (11.7% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.〔(School Data for Absegami High School ), National Center for Education Statistics. Accessed October 30, 2015.〕 Oakcrest High School and Cedar Creek High School are Absegami's sister schools. Absegami and Oakcrest shared the same buildings during the period from the creation of Absegami High School in 1972 to the construction of a separate campus for Absegami in 1982. In a referendum held on September 25, 2007, voters approved by a 3,176 – 1,719 margin a plan to construct a third high school in the district, to be located in Egg Harbor City, which would help alleviate overcrowding in the two existing schools and serve students from Egg Harbor City and Mullica Township. Construction started in Fall 2008 and was completed in Summer 2010 at a total project cost of $80 million (of which $59.9 million was related to construction costs), with the new facility opening that September.〔(Cedar Creek High School ), Learning by Design Outstanding Project 2011.
