CRSD draws students for grades 7 through 12 from the sending towns of Berkeley Township, Island Heights, Ocean Gate, Seaside Heights and Seaside Park. Both the middle school and high school are located on the same campus in the Bayville section of Berkeley which is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, the Barnegat Bay, and the Pine Barrens of Southern New Jersey – an area rich in culture, tradition, and extension activities beyond the traditional classroom.

Student academic growth and social-emotional development is the first priority of the “Staffulty”. All learner types have opportunities to gain knowledge and skills of adopted curricula and standards in a safe, caring setting. Numerous electives are available that encourage students to expand interests in the areas of art, music, foreign language, technology, and business. Ocean County Vocational school enables high schoolers additional options. College credits can be earned through numerous embedded courses through Ocean County College and Stockton University. Students accepted to the Humanities Academy through Stockton and those who choose to participate in the Dual Enrollment Program experience college classes taught by professors. The Digital Media Academy and Art Academy provide comprehensive programs for those who want to develop a deeper understanding and resumes within those subjects. The JROTC Eagle Battalion builds leadership skills starting at the middle school level.

Students gain additional experience and build relationships beyond the classroom through countless extracurricular activities. Courtesy bussing after regular school hours allows every student to participate in athletics, clubs, and performances. Trips, dances, and numerous special events sustain a welcoming culture, as well as the Renaissance Program which celebrates progress on an individual and school-wide basis daily.

The purpose of the chart below is to inform parents of choice seat availability before the application deadline in early December. After the deadline, the information will be outdated.

The Department of Education limits the number of choice seats that each district can fill. The “maximum number of new choice students that can be enrolled” tells parents how many new choice students the district can enroll in the next school year. If more than the maximum number of applications is received, a lottery will be held and a waitlist will be developed. Waitlists will be developed for all approved choice grades even if no seats are currently available. NA indicates the district is not accepting choice applications for those grades.
