The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "B", the second lowest of eight groupings.

From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.

As of 2013, the Lower Cape May Regional School District received a feasibility study that would look at ways to reconfigure the district, which had been established in 1956. The study considered Cape May City withdrawing from the regional district or the dissolution of the district, converting the existing PreK-6 Lower Township School District to serve PreK-12, as the regional district's school facilities are located in the township. Cape May City and West Cape May could see annual savings approaching a combined $6 million from the dissolution.
