History

edit

The initial high school facility began in September 1950 as Lower Penn's Neck Memorial School.[8] In that year, the district was spending $80,000 each year to send 500 students out of the district to attend high school as part of sending/receiving relationships.[9]

The district spent $1.23 million (equivalent to $14 million in 2023) for an addition to Memorial School that would be used to house the high school.[10]

The high school program was started at the start of the 1955–56 school year with ninth grade students at Memorial School, prior to which high school students from the township attended either Penns Grove High School or Salem High School.[11]

Awards, recognition and rankings

edit

The school was the 255th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 339 schools statewide in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2014 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", using a new ranking methodology.[12] The school had been ranked 159th in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 209th in 2010 out of 322 schools listed.[13] The magazine ranked the school 206th in 2008 out of 316 schools.[14] The school was ranked 257th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.[15]
