Ocean City superintendent highlights top-100 high school ranking, Unified Sports 5K and fall events
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Angelo told the Ocean City School District board the high school is ranked among New Jersey—s top 100, previewed a Cape Atlantic League Unified Sports 5K to benefit inclusive athletics, and listed back-to-school nights for all schools.
Dr. Angelo, the district superintendent, told the Ocean City School District board on Sept. 18 that the new school year is off to a "wonderful start," with athletics and co-curricular activities active across campuses. "Our athletic teams have had a tremendous start to their seasons," he said, and he praised staff and volunteers for opening buildings smoothly.
Dr. Angelo reported that Ocean City High School placed in the state—s top 100 high schools in the US News & World Report ranking (discussed as "number 84" in committee conversation). He said the district considers the ranking one benchmark among many, including graduation rates and course participation, and described internal committee work on AP testing rates and credit types (AP, dual credit, concurrent credit) as part of efforts to improve student outcomes.
He announced that the Ocean City School District, in collaboration with Mainland Regional, Greater Egg Harbor Regional, Egg Harbor Township and Cape May County Special Services districts, will host a Cape Atlantic League Unified Sports 5K in early November. The route will begin at the transportation center at Ninth Street and Haven Avenue in Ocean City, cross the Route 52 Causeway and finish at JFK Park in Somers Point; proceeds will benefit unified-sports programming.
Dr. Angelo also reminded parents and caregivers of back-to-school nights: the primary school event at 6:30 p.m., the high school event at 6 p.m., and the intermediate school event at 6:30 p.m. He encouraged families to attend to learn about programming and staff expectations.
The superintendent closed by saying the district is reviewing internal data and systems (including the wellness room and AP participation) to identify opportunities to "move the needle" for all students, not only high-achieving cohorts. The curriculum committee set a follow-up meeting for Oct. 10 at 4 p.m.
