Red Bank Regional High School (often abbreviated as R.B.R.) is a comprehensive regional four-year public high school that serves students in grades nine through twelve from four communities in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. The high school serves students from the boroughs of Little Silver, Red Bank and Shrewsbury.[2] However, the high school is considered Vocational because of its Performing Arts Department and Academy of Finance, so students from anywhere in New Jersey may attend for a fee (if they are out of district). Additionally, some townships such as Belmar, Keyport, Hazlet and Lake Como have agreements with R.B.R. in which the students may attend and the township covers the cost.
The school district was established in 1969 and used space rented from the Red Bank Borough Public Schools until construction of the new high school building was completed in 1975.[3]
As of the 2006-07 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,116 students and 100 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.2.[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.[4]
Red Bank Regional High School is accredited by the New Jersey Department of Education and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.
