There were 832 students (48.6% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 164 (9.6% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.Due to a recent influx of students attending the school, the freshmen are now located in the South Wing, a separate building located behind the main campus that runs parallel to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission.The school offers eight Academy programs, six Career Technical programs, and the recently added Academy of Aviation Studies. Shared-time students attend vocational programs at ACIT for part of the day, while receiving their academic instruction at one of the public high schools in the county.
