School Choice

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THERE ARE NO CHOICE SEATS AVAILABLE FOR THE UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR (2026-2027).  

The New Jersey Interdistrict School Choice program provides the opportunity for non-resident students to attend Pine Hill Public Schools at no cost to their parents/guardians through an application process. Our district continues to offer a comprehensive Pre-K to 12 educational program. Please visit the links below for the District Profile and information on the application for enrollment in our choice program. School Choice seats are limited, and an application must be submitted to be considered for a seat. 

For additional information or questions, please contact:
Tracie Wolf, School Choice Coordinator

Choice districts may give enrollment preference to students in the following circumstances (the district must post its enrollment policies on its website):

  • Students who have siblings currently attending the choice district
  • Choice students who attend a choice district with grades that terminate before 12th grade and have a send-receive agreement with a high school or limited-purpose regional district; and resident students of the choice district who move out of the district during the course of the school year and want to continue in the choice district the following year.

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: 5
