Marlboro High School, home of the Mustangs, is a four-year comprehensive public high school located within Marlboro Township, New Jersey, and is part of the Freehold Regional High School District (FRHSD). Students from most areas of Marlboro, including all of the Morganville section, are districted to attend Marlboro High, while residents of some parts of Marlboro are districted to attend Colts Neck High School in Colts Neck Township. In addition, Marlboro High School hosts the Business Administration Learning Center within FRHSD, so there are students attending Marlboro High School from throughout the district.
Marlboro High School opened in 1968. Before Colts Neck High School opened in 1998, all Colts Neck students attended Marlboro High School.
As of the 2006-07 school year, the school had an enrollment of 2,142 students and 140 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 15.3.[1]

In the late 70s and early 80s, Marlboro High School's Debate Team was nationally recognized as a consistent powerhouse and frequent invitee to elite, invitation only events. In 1981, the team of Meredith McClintock and Andrea Alterman completed their high school debate careers as the #3 team in the Nation.
[edit] Background
Approximately 97% of Marlboro High School students attend a 4-year college after graduation.[citation needed]
Marlboro High School was considered a "failing school" three years ago under the federal No Child Left Behind Act because students with disabilities did not meet the Act's benchmarks in math and language arts. Still, all student groups and subgroups met the 95 percent participation rate in the Act's Adequate Yearly Progress benchmarks.[4]
[edit] Athletics
The Marlboro High School Mustangs compete in the Shore Conference, an athletic conference made up of private and public high schools centered at the Northern Jersey Shore.[5] All schools in this conference are located within Monmouth County and Ocean County. The league operates under the jurisdiction of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA).[6]
In the Fall of 1994 the football team captured the Central Jersey Group IV Championship completing a 10-1 season with a 27-13 victory over Piscataway Township High School at Giants Stadium on December 4 of that year.[7]
In the 2003, 2004 and 2005 seasons, Marlboro High School's gymnastics team qualified for the State Competition held at Rutgers University. Each year the team placed higher than they were originally seeded. In 2006, the gymnastics team qualified for the Shore Conference competition and the Sectional Competition as well.
In 2009, The boy's soccer team became A-North Shore Conference Champions, the first time in school history. In that same season another school first was accomplished when the boy's soccer team won the Shore Conference Tournament.[citation needed]
