Toms River High School East is a comprehensive four-year public high school, the third high school built in Toms River, New Jersey, as part of the Toms River Regional Schools. It was built in 1979, after the first and second high schools; Toms River High School South and Toms River High School North were too small for the quick population growth in Toms River. Its student body consists of nearly 1,900 students. The school won several awards for its heating system, which utilizes heat generating lighting fixtures. Its school colors are black, silver, and blue. The school mascot is the Raider. The school day lasts six hours and 20 minutes. The Toms River high school day ends at 1:40 PM, one of the earliest daily closing time of any high schools in New Jersey.
As of the 2005-06 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,823 students and 123.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student-teacher ratio of 14.8.[1]
