English Language Arts

Barnegat Township School District is committed to delivering an engaging and challenging English Language Arts (ELA) curriculum for all students, K-12. Our vision is to foster the skills, understanding, and critical thinking abilities students need to thrive in their academic and personal lives. The K-12 ELA curriculum aligns with the New Jersey Student Learning Standards, which outline the skills and knowledge students should attain in their study of reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Students who meet the criteria for advanced coursework at RLHS and maintain a high level of performance throughout high school have opportunities to enroll in advanced classes such as AP English Literature and AP English Language. Placement into these programs is based on multiple measures, including, but not limited to, final grades, standardized assessment scores, Benchmark assessments, and teacher recommendations.
