Summary

Marlboro High School is a public school serving 1,700 students in grades 9–12 in Marlboro, New Jersey, as part of the Freehold Regional High School District. Its clearest strength is early high-school math: ninth-grade Algebra I proficiency was 76%, 54 percentage points above the state and 16 points above the district in 2025–2026. The most important concern is 11th-grade science: proficiency was 19%, below the district’s 26% and the state’s 29%, and lower than nearby schools with reported results.

Compared with nearby schools, Marlboro stands out for ninth-grade math but has the weakest reported 11th-grade science result. Ninth-grade Geometry proficiency was 84%, above the reported results at Middletown High School South (68%), Old Bridge High School (69%) and Holmdel High School (80%). In science, Marlboro’s 19% was below Manalapan High School (24%), Old Bridge (24%) and Middletown South (41%). Ninth-grade ELA was also competitive at 65%, the second-highest result among the nine supplied schools.

Results have shifted unevenly: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ninth-grade Algebra I proficiency rose 9 percentage points, while Algebra II end-of-course proficiency fell 48 points, from 100% to 52%. Ninth-grade ELA was nearly unchanged at 65%, and science remained low despite a 1-point increase. For 2025–2026, SchoolDigger ranked Marlboro 137th of 434 New Jersey schools, at the 68th percentile with 3 stars; its percentile fell 7 points from the prior year. The student-teacher ratio was 15.7 in 2024–2025, the highest among the nine listed schools. In that same year, 11% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings also place the school’s service to students receiving special education at the 89th percentile and to low socioeconomic status students at the 86th percentile, compared with its overall 68th-percentile ranking.

I attended this school and am not Interning on Wall Street and am all of 19 years old. I cannot thank the BLC and the high school enough for my experience and hope everyone can take away a similar one from this high school I owe it everything. Close Quote
