Keansburg High School is a four-year community public high school serving students in grades nine through twelve from Keansburg, Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States, operating as part of the Keansburg School District. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 1991.[2]
As of the 2009-10 school year, the school had an enrollment of 454 students and 35 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.97.[1]
The school was the 184th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 322 schools statewide, in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2010 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", after being ranked 147th in 2008 out of 316 schools.[3] The school was ranked 263rd in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.[4] Schooldigger.com ranked the school as 306th out of 376 public high schools statewide in its 2010 rankings (a decrease of 26 positions from the 2009 rank) which were based on the combined percentage of students classified as proficient or above proficient on the language arts literacy and mathematics components of the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA).[5]
KHS is located at 140 Port Monmouth Road. However, the school itself cannot be seen from Port Monmouth Road. The school is accessed via Titan Trail (the entrance road) into the parking lot. It is adjacent to Port Monmouth Road Elementary School (which should not be confused with Port Monmouth Elementary School in Port Monmouth), which was built well after the high school. One part of Port Monmouth Road Elementary School, once referred to as the "C-Wing," is slated to be returned for use for the high school following reconstruction, which has been slow in progress. The reconstruction plans also plan to change the existing structure of the school district.
