Chartertech High School for the Performing Arts is a public charter high school for students in ninth through twelfth grades in Somers Point, Atlantic County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, that focuses on education in the performing arts. The school operates independently of the local school district under a charter granted by the New Jersey Department of Education.

As of the 2023–24 school year, the school had an enrollment of 327 students and 42.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 7.8:1. There were 194 students (59.3% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 36 (11.0% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1]

History

The school opened in 1999 under a charter granted by the New Jersey Department of Education.[3]

The Somers Point Planning Board approved a proposal in April 2010 that had been submitted by the school under which the school would spend $4 million to construct additional classrooms and a gymnasium to be completed before the conclusion of the 2011–12 school year that would allow Chartertech to accommodate as many as 400 students.[4] Although being a performing arts high school, it took over 24 years to build a proper stage.

Awards, recognition and rankings

The school was the 179th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 339 schools statewide in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2014 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools".[5]
