Summary:
ZIP code 08215 has three public schools serving preschool through grade 12: Charles L. Spragg School (PK–3), Egg Harbor City Community School (grades 4–8), and Cedar Creek High School (grades 9–12). The most important finding is that results are sharply mixed: Cedar Creek is at or above state proficiency in several measures, while the two younger-grade schools are below state figures in nearly all their reported comparisons.
Cedar Creek stands out most favorably: in 2025–2026, grade 9 ELA and Geometry were 5 and 8 percentage points above state results, and grade 11 NJGPA ELA and math were 4 and 3 points above. It was below the state in grade 9 Algebra I and grade 11 science, however. Spragg was furthest below in its current comparisons: grade 3 ELA was 9% proficient, 40 points below the state, and math was 4%, 45 points below. Egg Harbor City Community was below state ELA and math results in every listed grade, though its grade 8 ELA gap was comparatively narrow at 6 points.
Egg Harbor City Community showed the strongest improvement over time: its average state-relative gap narrowed by 5 points between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, including a 19-point improvement in the grade 8 ELA gap; progress varied, with some math gaps widening. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for the school rose from 5 to 24 over those years, while Spragg fell from 2 to 0 and Cedar Creek stayed around the middle, at 54, 52, and 56. For context, 2024–2025 student-teacher ratios were 9.0 at Spragg, 8.7 at Egg Harbor City Community, and 11.3 at Cedar Creek. Free/reduced lunch eligible figures that year were 72%, 79%, and 44%, respectively; chronic absenteeism was above the state rate at all three schools.
