Manalapan High School

Summary:

Manalapan High School is a public high school located in Englishtown, New Jersey, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 1,722. The school is part of the Freehold Regional High School District, which is ranked 208 out of 615 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Manalapan High School consistently ranks among the top high schools in New Jersey, with a statewide ranking that has ranged from 45 to 202 over the past decade. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school ranked 116 out of 422 New Jersey high schools and received a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students consistently outperform the state and district averages on standardized tests, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. Manalapan High School also maintains high graduation rates, ranging from 95.6% to 97.8% over the past five years, and low dropout rates, ranging from 0.3% to 0.8% during the same period.

While Manalapan High School's performance is generally stronger than the other high schools in the Freehold Regional High School District, such as Colts Neck High School, Freehold Township High School, and Freehold Borough High School, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.6% in 2018-2019 to 24.9% in 2021-2022. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (8.71% in 2022-2023), suggesting a relatively affluent student population, which may raise questions about the accessibility and equity of educational opportunities for students from lower-income backgrounds.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
