What is Niche? An independent school-review site. Its ranking uses public data (state test scores, college readiness, graduation rates, teacher quality) plus student and parent reviews. We didn't create these rankings.

Which Monmouth high schools rank highest? Two county vocational schools are in Niche's NJ top 10: High Technology High School in Lincroft (#4) and Biotechnology High School in Freehold (#8). They admit by application, so they aren't tied to one town.

How to read these numbers: it's one data point, a snapshot of a formula. Rankings change as Niche updates its data. This ranks high schools only, elementary, middle, and districts are ranked separately. Marlboro, Manalapan, and Colts Neck high schools are in the Freehold Regional High School District. Attendance depends on district rules and your exact address, confirm with the district.
