Longport is a borough in Atlantic County, New Jersey on the Atlantic Ocean shore of Absecon Island. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 895,[8][9][10] reflecting a decline of 159 (-15.1%) from the 1,054 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn declined by 170 (-13.9%) from the 1,224 counted in the 1990 Census.[19]

History

James Long, an absentee owner, purchased a parcel in 1857 that grew over the years as sand accumulated and as additional property was purchased. Acquired by M. Simpson McCullough in 1882, the community was named Longport in honor of Long.[20][21]

Longport was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 7, 1898, from portions of Egg Harbor Township.[22]

Geography

Great Egg Coast Guard Station in Longport

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 1.560 square miles (4.040 km2), including 0.385 square miles (0.998 km2) of land and 1.175 square miles (3.043 km2) of water (75.31%).[1][2]

The borough neighbors Margate City, and shares Absecon Island with Ventnor City and Atlantic City.

Longport is located on the southwest corner of 8.1-mile (13.0 km) long Absecon Island, along with Margate City, Ventnor City and Atlantic City to the northeast.[23]

Longport, south from 11th Avenue.

Streets at the southern end of the borough start at 11th Street, as the 180 acres (73 ha) that made up the ten numbered streets below it were washed out on the barrier island by a series of storms between 1900 and 1916.[20][24] The Great Egg Harbor Inlet shifted north, and Ocean City island was extended by what is now the Gardens neighborhood of that city.[20]

Education

For Kindergarten through eighth grade, public school students from Longport attend the Margate City Schools in Margate City as part of a sending/receiving relationship.[75][76] Longport is a non-operating school district that had 49 students in the Margate district and 8 in Atlantic City for high school as of 2010, operating with a three-member board of education that oversaw its relationships with its sending districts.[77]

As of the 2011-12 school year, the Margate district's two schools had an enrollment of 492 students and 48.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.25:1.[78] Schools in the district (with 2010–11 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[79]) are William H. Ross Elementary School[80] (grades K-4; 249 students) and Eugene A. Tighe Middle School[81] (grades 5-8; 243 students).[82]

As of the 2014-15 school year, public school students in ninth through twelfth grades attend Ocean City High School as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Ocean City School District.[83] Through the 2013-14 school year, Longport's students had attended Atlantic City High School, along with those from Brigantine, Margate City and Ventnor City, as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Atlantic City School District.[84] The Longport Board of Education had investigated the possibility of offering city students the option of attending either Atlantic City High School or Ocean City High School, as part of an effort to control the costs for the average of ten Longport students sent to attend public high school annually. With the Atlantic City district charging tuition estimated at nearly $24,000 per student as of 2013–14 and the Ocean City School District charging 25% less per student, district officials estimated prospective savings of $128,000 in the first five years, though those savings could disappear if more of the nearly two-thirds of students attending private high schools were to shift to choose the new Ocean City option.[85] In June 2014, the Acting State Commissioner of Education approved the end of the relationship with the Atlantic City district under which Longport's students could start attending Ocean City High School starting with the 2014-15 school year.[86]

Borough public school students are also eligible to attend the Atlantic County Institute of Technology in the Mays Landing, New Jersey section of Hamilton Township[87] or the Charter-Tech High School for the Performing Arts, located in Somers Point.[88]

"The feasibility study, which was discussed at a public hearing last week, showed that if Longport were to end or alter its sending relationship with Atlantic City, it would have 'no substantial racial impact' on either Atlantic City or Ocean City high schools - mostly because of the small numbers involved, less than 10 projected students in each of the next five years. In addition, the study estimates that the per-pupil tuition would be $23,917 for Longport students to attend ACHS in 2013–14 and $17,871 to attend OCHS, which would result in a three-year cost savings of more than $128,000."
