South Hunterdon Regional High School is a regional public high school and secondary school district serving three communities in southern Hunterdon County. It is the smallest public high school in the state of New Jersey.[3] Students in grade 7 - 12 attend the school, which serves students from Lambertville, Stockton and West Amwell Township. The high school is located in Lambertville. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 1977.[4]
As of the 2009-10 school year, the school had an enrollment of 348 students and 32 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.88.[1]
The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "FG", the fourth 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]
South Hunterdon Regional High School is a very small, tight knit community of education and extra-curricular activities. The school allows and markets the opportunity for students from outside the district to attend by paying tuition, as some consider the small class sizes and environment to be similar to that of a private school.[3]
The school was the 74th-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 58th in 2008 out of 316 schools.[6] The school was ranked 120th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which included 316 schools across the state.[7] Schooldigger.com ranked the school as tied for 180th out of 376 public high schools statewide in its 2010 rankings (an increase of 47 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).[8]

[edit] Athletics
South Hunterdon High School competes in the Skyland Conference, which consists of public and parochial high schools covering Hunterdon County, Somerset County and Warren County in west Central Jersey, operating under the jurisdiction of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA).[9] With 172 students in grades 10-12, the school is classified by the NJSIAA for most sports as Central Jersey Group I, a category that includes schools with enrollment of 117 to 490.[10]
The Boys Basketball team finished the season with a record of 18-8, won the program's first divisional title and made it to the finals of the 2010 Central Jersey Group I tournament, but fell short to Asbury Park High School by a score of 73-57.[11]
The Girls Basketball team made it to the finals of the 2006 Central Jersey Group I tournament, defeating Bordentown Regional High School by a score of 55-45.[12]

Consider the fact that this group won the first division title in school history, hosted the first playoff game in school history, earned the No. 1 seed for the first time in school history (boys or girls) and won the first three state tournament games in school history – which included Friday night’s comeback in which the Eagles scored 34 fourth-quarter points to erase a 17-point deficit and shock Dunellen."
