Cumberland Regional High School is a comprehensive regional public high school and school district, serving students in grades 9 through 12 from seven communities in Cumberland County, New Jersey, United States. The district serves students from Deerfield Township, Fairfield Township, Greenwich Township, Hopewell Township, Shiloh Borough, Stow Creek Township and Upper Deerfield Township. The district encompasses 162 square miles.[2]
As of the 2005-06 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,357 students and 105.0 classroom teachers (on a FTE basis, for a student-teacher ratio of 12.9.[1]
The district participates in the Interdistrict Public School Choice Program, which allows non-resident students to attend the district's school without cost to their parents, with tuition covered by the State of New Jersey.[3] Available slots are announced annually by grade.
On December 10, 1974, the county superintendent of education designated members of the initial school board, which by law consists of nine members. Each constituent district was allowed one representative, with the two largest districts receiving an extra representative each. The district was formed to help with overcrowding issues at Bridgeton High School, which, at the time, all nine districts sent their 9th through 12th grade students.
