Asbury Park High School is a comprehensive, community public high school serving students in seventh through twelfth grades. It is in a landmark building in Asbury Park, in Monmouth County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, that was constructed during the New Deal as a model high school campus. It is part of the Asbury Park Public Schools, an Abbott District[8] serving children in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. The current school building opened to students in September 1926.[9]

As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 607 students and 50.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.1:1. There were 278 students (45.8% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and none eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[2]

As part of a reconfiguration of district schools announced in July 2019, students in grades 7 and 8 began attending classes in the high school in September 2020.[10][11]

Students from Deal attend the high school as part of a sending/receiving relationship. Students from Belmar attend either Asbury Park High School or Manasquan High School.[12]

History

[edit]

Constructed at a cost of $1 million (equivalent to $17.2 million in 2023), the school building opened in September 1926 for 800 students, though the auditorium had not yet been completed when the building opened for the year.[9]

Students from Ocean Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey had been sent to Asbury Park and by 1962 accounted for a majority of students in am increasingly overcrowded high school. Ocean Township voters approved a referendum to cover the cost of construction of Ocean Township High School, which opened in September 1965 for students through 11th grade, with 12th graders completing their education in Asbury Park.[13]

Students from Allenhurst and Interlaken had attended the district's schools as part of sending/receiving relationships that have since been terminated. Interlaken received permission of the Commissioner New Jersey Department of Education in July 2014 to terminate its sending agreement with Asbury Park, which was replaced with a new relationship with the West Long Branch Public Schools for grades K-8 and with Shore Regional High School for grades 9-12.[14] In July 2017, the DoE's Acting Commissioner approved a plan by Allenhurst to end its sending relationship with Asbury Park and join Interlaken in sending to West Long Branch and Shore Regional.[15] The nearly 40 public school students from Allenhurst would start transitioning to the new sending districts as the relationship with Asbury Park is severed.[16]

Awards, recognition and rankings

[edit]

The school was the 313th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 339 schools statewide in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2014 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", using a new ranking methodology.[17] The school had been ranked 177th in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 280th in 2010 out of 322 schools listed.[18] The magazine ranked the school 281st in 2008 out of 316 schools.[19] The school was ranked 296th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.[20] Schooldigger.com ranked the school 379th out of 381 public high schools statewide in its 2011 rankings (a decrease of 12 positions from the 2010 ranking) which were based on the combined percentage of students classified as proficient or above proficient on the mathematics (16.7%) and language arts literacy (46.6%) components of the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA).[21]
