West Cape May School District is a community public school district located in West Cape May in Cape May County, New Jersey, United States, that serves students in pre-Kindergarten through sixth grade. With an average of fewer than 10 students per grade, it one of the districts with the smallest enrollment in the state.〔Procida, Lee. ("Sea Isle, Long Beach Island are examples of how closing small, high-cost schools can be difficult, unpopular" ), ''The Press of Atlantic City'', September 20, 2011. Accessed March 12, 2015. "The 10 smallest school districts in the state each have fewer than 100 students. Seven of them, all in South Jersey, are grappling with shrinking enrollment, aging buildings and rising property taxes.... West Cape May disregarded a recommendation to send students to Cape May, and instead started welcoming students from outside its borders through the state Public School Choice program. The first 16 choice students increased the prekindergarten-through-sixth-grade school’s enrollment to 58 students this year."〕 As of the 2012-13 school year, the district and its one school had a total enrollment of 66 students and 6.6 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 9.62:1.〔(District information for West Cape May School District ), National Center for Education Statistics. Accessed March 12, 2015.〕 The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "DE", the fifth-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.〔(NJ Department of Education District Factor Groups (DFG) for School Districts ), New Jersey Department of Education. Accessed October 30, 2014.〕 For seventh through twelfth grades, public school students attend the schools of the Lower Cape May Regional School District, which serves students from Cape May, Lower Township and West Cape May, along with students from Cape May Point who attend as part of a sending/receiving relationship.〔(Lower Cape May Regional - High School ). Accessed October 31, 2014. "Lower Cape May Regional High School is a four year public school that serves students from four communities including Cape May, Lower Township, West Cape May and Cape May Point."〕〔Johnson, Virgil; and Kirtland, James L. ("A Feasibility Study to Reconfigure the Lower Cape May Regional School District" ), Statistical Forecasting LLC, June 2013. Accessed October 31, 2014. "Cape May City is one of three constituent communities served by the Lower Cape May Regional School District ("Lower Cape May Regional"), a limited purpose school district providing education for the middle and high school students from Cape May City, Lower Township, and West Cape May.... Students from cape May Point attend on a sending-receiving basis."〕 Schools in the district (with 2012-13 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics〔(School Data for the Lower Cape May Regional High School District ), National Center for Education Statistics. Accessed March 12, 2015.〕) are Richard M. Teitelman Middle School〔(Richard M. Teitelman Middle School ), Lower Cape May Regional School District. Accessed October 31, 2014.〕 (grades 7 and 8; 517 students) and Lower Cape May Regional High School〔(Lower Cape May Regional High School ), Lower Cape May Regional School District. Accessed October 31, 2014.〕 (grades 9-12; 964). In 2013, the Lower Cape May Regional School District received a feasibility study that looked at ways to reconfigure the district, which had been established in 1956. The study considered Cape May City withdrawing from the regional district or the dissolution of the district, converting Lower Township's existing PreK-6 district to serve PreK-12, as the regional district's school facilities are located in the township. Cape May City and West Cape May could see annual savings approaching a combined $6 million from the dissolution.〔 ==School== West Cape May Elementary School had an enrollment of 66 students in the 2012-13 school year.〔(School Data for West Cape May School District ), National Center for Education Statistics.
