Choice Program
The Pennsville Public School Choice Program benefits students and parents as well as the choice districts. Pennsville School Choice program offers smaller class sizes, increased instructional time, and a positive school culture and climate more conducive to a student’s success in school.
Pennsville has established specialized and innovative programs and courses that focus on areas such as art, music, foreign languages, and technology, and are open to students who demonstrate an interest in taking special programs. Opening enrollment to students outside the district can bring in more students interested in taking advantage of these special programs and courses, allowing both the programs and the students to grow and flourish.
Pennsville School District programs include our Jump Start program which enables High School Students to graduate with up to 26 College credits (if they choose to enroll at a minimum fee), dynamic visual and performing arts program with award winning education in voice and instrumental education as well as a robust extra-curricular activities program which includes clubs and competitive sports programs.
Choice Seats Availability
The purpose of the chart below is to inform parents of choice seat availability before the application deadline. After the deadline, the information will be outdated.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.
Maximum Number of New Choice Students that can be Enrolled: 2

District Choice Policies |
Indicate Yes/No/NA |
|
The district accepts Tier 2 students (see definitions of Tier 1 and Tier 2 ). |
Yes |
|
The district gives enrollment preference to choice applicants who have a sibling currently attending the choice district and who will continue to attend in the following school year, provided there are choice seats available in the choice-approved grades/programs and the students meet any program-specific criteria. |
Yes |
|
The district gives enrollment preference to choice applicants who have completed the terminal grade of the sending district (i.e., students who attend a choice district with grades that terminate before 12th grade and have a natural progression to this choice district), provided there are choice seats available in the choice-approved grades/programs and the students meet any program-specific criteria. |
Yes |
|
The district gives enrollment preference to resident students who move before the application deadline. If resident students move and file choice applications for the following year prior to the deadline, the district will give them enrollment preference (i.e., accept them after the enrollment preference students described in b. and c. above, but ahead of other applicants), provided there are choice seats available in the choice-approved grades/programs and the students meet any program-specific criteria. If the district has already reached its approved choice enrollment maximum, this preference will not apply. |
Yes |
|
The district gives special consideration to resident students who move after the application deadline. Students in this situation may apply as late applicants and be added to the front of the district’s waitlist, provided the students will enroll in a choice-approved grade/program and they meet any program-specific criteria. No additional choice seats above the maximum will be approved by the NJDOE to accommodate these students. |
Yes |
