The Freehold Regional High School District is a public regional school district serving students in ninth through twelfth grades from eight communities in western Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. The district, consisting of six high schools, is the largest regional high school district in the state, as measured by enrollment.[3] The district serves students from Colts Neck Township, Englishtown, Farmingdale, Freehold Borough, Freehold Township, Howell Township, Manalapan Township and Marlboro Township.[4]

Each of the six high schools is located in their respective communities: Howell High School resides in Howell Township, Manalapan High School in Manalapan Township, Marlboro High School in Marlboro Township, Colts Neck High School in Colts Neck Township, and Freehold Township High School & Freehold (Borough) High School are both in Freehold. The district holds events such as Battle of the Classes/Champions, which pits each of the six schools against each other in a series of events.

As of the 2014-15 school year, the district and its six schools had an enrollment of 11,310 students and 770.9 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 14.7:1.[1]

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "GH", the third-highest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.[5]

Six Specialized Learning Centers are offered to students in the district, with admission on a selective basis, covering Business Administration at Marlboro; Humanities at Howell; Contemporary Global Issues at Freehold Township; Medical Sciences at Freehold; Science and Engineering at Manalapan; and Law and Public Service at Colts Neck. The District also offers a Culinary Arts/Hospitality Management Academy and a Computer Science Academy at Freehold Boro High School; a Fine and Performing Arts Academy at Howell; a Navy Junior ROTC Character and Leadership Development Academy at Colts Neck High School; an Automotive Technology Academy and a Law Enforcement and Public Safety Academy at Manalapan High School; and Animal and Botanical Sciences at Freehold Township High School. Every effort is made to keep special education students in the district; a variety of in-class support, resource center, and self-contained programs are conducted to educate those in need of special education.

No Child Left Behind

On October 21, 2005, the New Jersey Department of Education announced that the Freehold Regional High School District had for the second consecutive year failed to meet the minimum education standards promulgated under the federal No Child Left Behind Act. If the district failed again in 2006, it would be subject to sanctions that may include requiring the district to provide students with the opportunity to attend public schools in other New Jersey school districts no later than the 2007-2008 school year.

The FRHSD announced that five of our six high schools had achieved Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) on 40 of 40 categories established by the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) for 2006. The five schools are Colts Neck, Freehold, Howell, Manalapan, and Marlboro High Schools. Freehold Township High School made AYP in 39 of 40 indicators.

High schools

Attendance at each of the district's six schools is based on where the student lives in relation to the district's high schools; while many students attend the school in their hometown, others attend a school located outside their own municipality.[6] In order to balance enrollment, district lines are redrawn for the six schools to address issues with overcrowding and spending in regards to transportation. Schools in the district (with 2014-15 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[7]) with their attendance zones for incoming students are:[8][9]

Effective for entering Freshman, students from each of the municipalities are assigned to attend the specified schools:[6]

  • Colts Neck to Colts Neck H.S.
  • Englishtown to Manalapan H.S.
  • Farmingdale to Howell H.S.
  • Freehold Borough to Freehold Borough H.S.
  • Freehold Township to Freehold Borough H.S. or Freehold Township H.S.
