Marlboro High School, home of the Mustangs, is a four-year comprehensive public high school located within Marlboro Township, New Jersey, and is part of the Freehold Regional High School District (FRHSD). Students from most areas of Marlboro, including all of the Morganville section, are districted to attend Marlboro High, while residents of some parts of Marlboro are districted to attend Colts Neck High School in Colts Neck Township. In addition, Marlboro High School hosts the Business Administration Learning Center within FRHSD, so there are students attending Marlboro High School from throughout the district.

Marlboro High School opened in 1968. Before Colts Neck High School opened in 1998, all Colts Neck students attended Marlboro High School.

As of the 2005-06 school year, the school had an enrollment of 2,241 students and 141.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student-teacher ratio of 15.9.[1]

[edit] Awards and recognition

Marlboro High School was the 75th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 316 schools statewide, in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2006 cover story on the state's Top Public High Schools.[2] In 2006, Principal James Mullevey was named Administrator of the Year by the New Jersey Association of Student Councils (NJASC). [3]

The concert band is a notable part of Marlboro High School, with many achievements. The concert band was invited to Royal Albert Hall, London; the Sydney Opera House, Sydney, Australia; and in Beijing, China, as a part of the 2008 Summer Olympic Series. All invitations were declined.

[edit] Background

Approximately 96% of Marlboro High School students attend a 4-year college after graduation.

Marlboro High School is considered a "failing school" under the federal No Child Left Behind Act because students with disabilities did not meet the Act's benchmarks in math and language arts. Still, all student groups and subgroups met the 95 percent participation rate in the Act's Adequate Yearly Progress benchmarks.[4]

[edit] Athletics

The Marlboro High School Mustangs compete in the Shore Conference, an athletic conference made up of private and public high schools centered at the Northern Jersey Shore.[5] All schools in this conference are located within Monmouth County and Ocean County. The league operates under the jurisdiction of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA).[6]

In the Fall of 1994 the football team captured the Central Jersey Group IV Championship completing a 10-1 season with a 27-13 victory over Piscataway Township High School at Giants Stadium on December 4th of that year.[7]
