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]
Awards and recognition
The school was the 117th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 316 schools statewide, in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2008 cover story on the state's Top Public High Schools. The school was ranked 76th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.[2]
In 2006, Principal James Mullevey was named Administrator of the Year by the New Jersey Association of Student Councils (NJASC). [3]
The concert band is a notable part of Marlboro High School, with many achievements. The concert band was invited to Royal Albert Hall, London; the Sydney Opera House, Sydney, Australia; and in Beijing, China, as a part of the 2008 Summer Olympic Series. All invitations were declined.
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.
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]
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]
