Gateway Regional High School is a regional school district and public high school serving students in seventh through twelfth grades from the boroughs of National Park, Wenonah, Westville and Woodbury Heights, four communities in Gloucester County, New Jersey, United States.[4]

The Board of Education for the Gateway Regional High School District consists of nine members: Three members come from Westville (the largest community in the district) and two each come from National Park, Wenonah and Woodbury Heights.[5]

As of the 2012-13 school year, the district and its one school had an enrollment of 894 students and 76.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.69:1. There were 211 students (23.6% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 69 (7.7% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1]

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "CD", the sixth-highest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.[6]
