Oakcrest High School is a comprehensive four-year public high school located in Hamilton Township, in Atlantic County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The school is part of the Greater Egg Harbor Regional High School District, which includes three secondary schools that serve students from Egg Harbor City, Galloway Township, Hamilton Township and Mullica Township, together with students from Port Republic and Washington Township (in Burlington County) who attend as part of sending/receiving relationships.[3][4]

The school serves students from Hamilton Township, though students from elsewhere in the district are eligible to apply to attend magnet programs hosted at Oakcrest.[5] With the opening of Cedar Creek High School in Egg Harbor City in 2010, students from Mullica Township, Port Republic and Washington Township no longer attend Oakcrest High School.[6][7]

As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 914 students and 88.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.3:1. There were 436 students (47.7% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 120 (13.1% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1]
