Long Branch High School is a comprehensive, four-year community public high school that serves students in ninth through twelfth grades in the city of Long Branch, in Monmouth County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, operating as part of the Long Branch Public Schools. LBPS, one of 31 special-needs Abbott districts in the state,[9] serves the city of Long Branch. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 1928.[7]

As of the 2021–22 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,495 students and 132.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.3:1. There were 927 students (62.0% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 208 (13.9% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[2]

History

The city's first secondary school was called Chattle High School, named for Thomas G. Chattle, who served as the school district's superintendent from 1857 to 1889. Constructed at a cost of $78,000 (equivalent to $2.7 million in 2022), the school opened to students in October 1899 and the four-story building remained in use as a junior high school after a newer facility was completed, until it was destroyed after a fire in 1966. The current high school building was completed in 1927 and built for $683,000 (equivalent to $11.5 million in 2022).[10][11] Constructed at a cost of $72 million under the auspices of the New Jersey Schools Development Authority, a new school covering 283,000 square feet (26,300 m2) of space with 75 classrooms and a 2,000-seat gym opened in September 2007 with a capacity for 1,200 students.[12]

The high school was the original home of Monmouth University, then known as Monmouth Junior College, from 1933 to 1956 until Monmouth moved to Shadow Lawn in West Long Branch.[13]

Students from Monmouth Beach, Oceanport, Sea Bright, and West Long Branch left the high school in September 1962 with the opening of Shore Regional High School, alleviating overcrowding that had forced the school to conduct double sessions.[14]
