Pinelands Regional Junior High School (PRJHS) is a two-year regional public middle school that serves students in seventh through eighth grade from Eagleswood Township, Little Egg Harbor Township and Tuckerton Borough in Ocean County and from Bass River Township, in Burlington County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, operating as part of the Pinelands Regional School District.
As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 520 students and 55.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 9.45:1. There were 178 students (34.2% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 42 students (8% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1]
History
[edit]Prior to the opening of the High School, students from those towns had attended Southern Regional School District in Manahawkin. Constructed on a site covering 79 acres (32 ha) at a cost of $9.7 million (equivalent to $40.7 million in 2023), Pinelands Regional High School officially opened on September 5, 1979, as a Junior-Senior High School, originally housing grades 7-11 from Tuckerton, Little Egg Harbor, Bass River, and Eagleswood, while seniors finished their education at Southern Regional.
The building originally housed grades 7–8 on the third floor, 9–10 on the second, and 11–12 on the first. During the first school year (1979-1980) there was no senior class, as those students were allowed finish the year at Southern Regional High School. The building featured an experimental "open classroom" design, where a large group of students of varying skill levels would be in a single, large classroom with several teachers overseeing them; and contained no interior walls. However, this format didn't last long, and in the 1980s, the rooms were walled off, and separated by floor-to-ceiling folding partitions.
In 1991, Pinelands Middle School opened across the street for students in grades 7–8. Students taking Child Care classes go to class in this building to help with the daycare kids. In 2002, the Middle School was expanded and the 9th grade was moved there. When the expansion was completed at the Middle School, it was renamed "Pinelands Regional Junior High School" while the High School was renamed the "Senior High School", although this name is rarely used.[2]
Administration
[edit]The school's principal is Eric Pschorr[3]. His administration team includes Kristine Thurber (Assistant Principal) and Michele Maleski (Dean of Students). Dr. Kim Clark (Director of Research, Planning, and Evaluation) and Amanda Miller (School Business Administrator/Board Secretary) also have/had offices in the building, but are not apart of the school's administration.
Faculty and Student Information
[edit]The school has 520 students, 398 of them being noted as white.[1] or caucasian, 67 being noted as hispanic[1], 29 of them as black/African American[1], 2 as asian[1], and 23 other students belong to other races or more than one race[1]. There are 55 teaching staff members[1]
