From
Graduate to Grade School
Several of Monmouth County's public high schools are among the highest
rated in the state. The New Jersey Department of Education issues an annual
report card ranking public schools, which can be accessed on www.injersey.com.
Most towns have their own school district and superintendent. Matawan
and Aberdeen have a combined district. Atlantic Highlands and Highlands
each have their own district, but share Henry Hudson Regional High School.nion
Beach students attend Keyport High School. In addition, there are several
charter schools; that is, public schools run independently of a district's
other elementary schools. In Holmdel is the New School of Monmouth County,
an ungraded K-8 elementary school. The private Oak Hill Academy in Lincroft
and the Ranney School in nearby Tinton Falls are highly rated. Catholic
high schools include Christian Brothers Academy in Lincroft, Mater Dei
High School in Middletown, and St. John Vianney High School in Holmdel.
Monmouth County boasts three top-rated public vocational high schools,
proving that "vo-tech" is no longer just about auto mechanics
and wood shop. The High Technology High School (located at, but not affiliated
with, Brookdale Community College) is ranked second in the county, with
its students boasting a combined SAT score of 1389. The Academy of Allied
Health and Science in Neptune Township is ranked fifth, with a combined
SAT score of 1205. The Marine Academy of Science and Technology (M.A.S.T.)
at Sandy Hook is ranked ninth, with a combined SAT score of 1189. The
new Communications High School in Wall Township has yet to be ranked.
For those looking to pursue graduate and post-graduate degrees, Monmouth
County has two top-notch post-secondary schools. West Long Branch is home
to the private, four-year Monmouth University (732-571-3477). In Lincroft,
Brookdale Community College (732-224-2000) stands out among New Jersey's
county colleges for the diversity of on-campus undergraduate programs
at its main campus and at outreach centers including the Bayshore Learning
Center in Keansburg. Brookdale is leading the way in distance learning
with the Coastal Communiversity. Through partnering with several New Jersey
universities, students can work toward four-year degree and post-graduate
programs. Brookdale's thriving department of Business and Community Development
offers hundreds of non-credit courses at the Bayshore Learning Center
and the main campus. Other services include the Small Business Development
Center (732-842-8685); SCORE, the Service Corps of Retired Executives
(732-224-2573); the Educational Exchange Center, offering teacher training
workshops; and the very popular Summer Youth Academic and Sports Camps.
Brookdale maintains outreach centers in Asbury Park, Freehold, Keansburg,
Long Branch, and the Ocean Institute at Sandy Hook.
