St. Joseph Academy is a four-year co-educational high school located in Hammonton, in Atlantic County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, serving students in grades 9–12. The Academy was established for the 2020-21 school year, replacing St. Joseph High School, which had operated since 1942 under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Camden.[6] The school is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools through December 2025;[3] The school's accreditation status was extended for seven years in Fall 2018.[7] In 2020, the former school permanently closed because of financial problems that were exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic and the request from the Diocese of Camden.[8]
As of the 2021–22 school year, the school had an enrollment of 140 students and 14 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10:1. The school's student body was 70.0% (98) White, 22.9% (32) Black, 5.0% (7) Hispanic and 2.1% (3) Asian.[5]

"St. Joseph Academy in Hammonton finally has a home.... The academy announced Wednesday night it will be located at the former St. Joseph building at 328 Vine St.... Almost immediately, students, parents, friends and alumni formed St. Joe Strong and began to raise money and develop plans to keep both schools open. The group was able to raise enough money and interest to reopen the high school under the Academy name."
