Atlantic City School District School Calendar 2026-2027

At a Glance

ACSD is an urban school district with 11 schools. The first day of school is September 3. Atlantic City Public Schools serves students under the motto 'We All Learn Together' and its high school, established in 1895, fields athletics under the Viking nickname in the Cape-Atlantic League. The calendar also notes several religious observances (Yom Kippur (No school), Eid-al-Fitr (No school)) for awareness — school stays in session on these days. This calendar includes 10 professional development days, 15 early-release or half days — useful to know when planning childcare.
