Summary

Holmdel High School in Holmdel, New Jersey, serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 934 students in Monmouth County. Its graduation rate was 98% in 2024–2025, above the state’s 89%, but chronic absenteeism was 25%, compared with 14% statewide and 16% in the Holmdel Township School District. The key caution for families is that strong academic and graduation results coexist with unusually high absenteeism: Holmdel had the second-highest rate among nearby schools with comparable data.

Geometry is a standout, while Algebra I results vary sharply. In 2025–2026, Geometry proficiency was 80% in grade 9 and 77% End of Course, versus 50% and 52% statewide. Holmdel ranked third among nearby schools with reported Geometry results; High Technology High School and Marlboro High School had higher results. Grade 9 Algebra I was also strong at 45%, compared with 22% statewide, but grade 10 was just 9%, 10 points below the state. Algebra I End of Course was 42%—2 points above the state but 19 points below the district. Holmdel’s 98% graduation rate also compares favorably with the state’s 89%, while its absenteeism rate was 9 points above the district and 11 points above the state.

Some strong results have weakened over time: science fell from 53% in 2022–2023 to 38% in 2025–2026, and Algebra II End of Course dropped from 93% to 67%; both remain above state results, but the school’s advantage has narrowed. SchoolDigger rates Holmdel at the 81st statewide percentile with 4 stars; the district ranks 67th of 607 at the 89th percentile. The student-teacher ratio was 10.4:1 in 2024–2025, the lowest among nearby full-span high schools with reported ratios, which ranged from 11.1:1 to 15.7:1. About 3% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show a notable contrast: its statewide ranking for English Language Learner Students was at the 99th percentile, while Special Education Students ranked at the 53rd percentile, down from the 84th the prior year.
