Summary:
The Red Bank Regional School District is home to a single high school, Red Bank Regional High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 129th out of 415 New Jersey high schools in 2021-2022 to 179th out of 426 in 2023-2024. While the school's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with proficiency rates in some subjects above and others below the state average, its four-year graduation rate of 91.1% is relatively high, and the dropout rate of 1.2% is relatively low.
Red Bank Regional High School has a student population of 1,195 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.7, which could contribute to a more personalized learning environment. However, the school faces some challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, a significant portion of the student population (29.21%) qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a sizable population of economically disadvantaged students that may require additional support and resources.
Despite these mixed results, the school's per-student spending of $16,802 for the 2018-2019 school year was higher than the state average, suggesting that the district is investing resources into the school. To address the declining statewide ranking and the school's academic performance, the district may need to closely examine the curriculum, teaching practices, and support systems to identify areas for improvement and ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education.
