The Port Republic School District is a community public school district that serves students in kindergarten through eighth grade from Port Republic, in Atlantic County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[3][4][5]

As of the 2022–23 school year, the district, comprised of one school, had an enrollment of 112 students and 11.2 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.0:1.[1] In the 2016–17 school year, Port Republic was the 12th-smallest enrollment of any school district in the state, with 118 students.[6]

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "FG", the fourth-highest of eight groupings.

Students in ninth through twelfth grades attend Cedar Creek High School, which is located in the northern section of Egg Harbor City and opened to students in September 2010.[8] The school is one of three high schools operated as part of the Greater Egg Harbor Regional High School District, which also includes the constituent municipalities of Egg Harbor City, Galloway Township, Hamilton Township, and Mullica Township, and participates in sending/receiving relationships with Port Republic and Washington Township (Burlington County).[9] Cedar Creek High School is zoned to serve students from Egg Harbor City, Mullica Township, Port Republic and Washington Township, while students in portions of Galloway and Hamilton townships have the opportunity to attend Cedar Creek through the school of choice program or through attendance in magnet programs offered at Cedar Creek.[10][11] As of the 2018–19 school year, the high school had an enrollment of 930 students and 73.4 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.7:1.[12]
