The high school serves students from Bordentown City, Bordentown Township and Fieldsboro Borough.[2] The New Hanover Township School District, consisting of New Hanover Township and Wrightstown Borough, sends students to the Bordentown district on a tuition basis for grades 9 - 12 as part of a sending/receiving relationship.[3]

Bordentown Regional High School opened in 1965. It is the largest school in the Bordentown Regional School District, which was approved by voters in 1982.[4] Original plans to have a new high school building open in September 2005 had to be delayed after construction bids for the project opened in November 2003 came in substantially above the original estimate of $34 million.[5] With the project mostly completed at a cost of $36 million, the high school then relocated to its current building, opening for students on September 11, 2006, with the former high school building becoming Bordentown Regional Middle School.[6] Burlington County College uses the school facilities to offer courses during the evening, offering complete Associate Degree programs at the high school.[7]
The school was the 218th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 322 schools statewide, in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2010 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", after being ranked 208th in 2008 out of 316 schools.[8] The school was ranked 172nd in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.[9]
