Marlboro High School

Marlboro High School is a four-year comprehensive public high school located in Marlboro Township, in Monmouth County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, serving students in ninth through twelfth grades as one of the six secondary schools of the Freehold Regional High School District. The school serves students from portions of Marlboro Township. Marlboro High School hosts the Business Administration Magnet Program, a selective magnet program offered within Freehold Regional High School District, so there are students attending Marlboro High School from across the county. Students that are a part of the Business Administration Magnet Program take advanced classes that are more in-depth than regular classes. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 1974 and is accreditted until July 2025.

Students at Marlboro High School all come from Marlboro Township, with other students from Marlboro attending Colts Neck High School. The Freehold Regional High School District serves students from Colts Neck Township, Englishtown, Farmingdale, Freehold Borough, Freehold Township, Howell Township, Manalapan Township and Marlboro Township.

As of the 2023–24 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,742 students and 111.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 15.7:1. There were 100 students (5.7% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 22 (1.3% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.

With the original Freehold High School holding double sessions and rapid growth projected in the district, even with the new Southern Freehold Regional High School (to be renamed Howell High School) on the way, voters approved a referendum in December 1963 by a nearly 3-2 margin under which the district would spend $161,000 (equivalent to $1,654,000 in 2024) to acquire sites covering 43 acres (17 ha) in Marlboro and 65 acres (26 ha) in Manalapan that would be used for future high schools.

Due to delays in opening Marlboro High School at the start of the 1968–69 school year, students assigned to the school attended split sessions in the afternoon at Freehold High School.

Constructed at a cost of $3.4 million (equivalent to $30.7 million in 2024), the school opened in late October 1968.

Marlboro High School served all students from Colts Neck Township until Colts Neck High School opened in 1998.

In its listing of "America's Best High Schools 2016", the school was ranked 421st out of 500 best high schools in the country; it was ranked 46th among all high schools in New Jersey and 29th among the state's non-magnet schools.
