According to  U.S. News and World Report Freehold Borough High school was named as the only traditional public school in Monmouth and Ocean counties to be ranked among the top 504 schools.

Those of us already districted to that school already know what we have. Many residents would rather not share that news; as we call it ‘Monmouth counties best kept secret”.

I will admit I have had children attend other schools, the opportunities are tremendous in this area to seek out specialized areas of interest.

My oldest attended Howell H.S. for the theater program, and was able to get into Wagner College for their theater program. O.K. she left after 1 year to live out her dreams in the city, but that’s another story.

My 2nd attended Communications H. S. in Wall NJ. This school is also ranked in the top schools as well. It is a program offered for Monmouth county residents. Her SAT’s reflect the college level curriculum and she just finished her applications . We are really hoping for the academic scholarships she deserves.

My third was able to grab the best of both world’s as he was accepted into the Computor Science program at the Freehold Borough H.S. this is one of the learning centers that students can apply to throughout the district.

My 8th grader is applying to Communications as well, and said he would be happy to attend Freehold Borough and take honors and AP classes if he not accepted.

While I do not expect my youngest in 5th grade to want to take advantage of all the opportunities that the Freehold Regional High School District and Monmouth county allow her to, I will very happy that her fallback is one of the top rated schools in the country.

Oh and yes the gray hairs are coming in quickly.
