ATLANTIS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Atlantis Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the North Hanover Township School District school district, located in Joint Base MDL, NJ with about 208 students offering grade levels from 1st Grade to 2nd Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 19 teachers, Atlantis Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Atlantis Elementary School is located on Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey and serves as a vital educational hub for the children of military personnel stationed at the installation. Because it operates within a unique Department of Defense (DoD) environment, the school is specifically designed to support the transient nature of military families, providing a stable and inclusive learning atmosphere that addresses the unique challenges of military-connected students, such as frequent relocation and parent deployments.

The school is part of the North Hanover Township School District and emphasizes academic excellence while fostering a strong sense of community. By integrating specialized support services and extracurricular activities tailored to its student population, Atlantis Elementary creates a collaborative environment where students from diverse backgrounds can thrive. Its presence on the base ensures that military families have convenient access to high-quality public education within a secure and supportive campus setting.
