The Somers Point School District of approximately 1200 students (Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade) consists of three schools. The Jordan Road School, constructed in 1966 with an addition in 1991, is a Kindergarten through 8th grade building which houses approximately 725 students. Dawes Avenue School was recently constructed in 1998 and sits on the other side of town and houses Kindergarten through 6th grade, approximately 425 students. The third school is the New York Avenue School, constructed in 1914 with an addition in 1922 and refurbished in 2005. The New York Avenue School houses our three pre-Kindergarten handicapped classes, which are half-day sessions, with approximately 70 students. The school also houses the Central Office, Business Office, Child Study Team Office and the Community Education Recreation Office.
The mission of the Somers Point Board of Education is to foster life-long learning by encouraging our students to discover their fullest potential to become proactive citizens. This is accomplished through:
- Offering diverse, challenging, effective and progressive programs in a safe, nurturing environment;
- Adequate facilities and resources;
- Our students mastering the knowledge and tools needed for success.
- Educational partnership of home, school and community members.
