Shore Regional High School has been an IB World School since April 2007, offering students the IB Diploma Programme.[15] The school is accredited until July 2026 and has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 1969;[5] The school's accreditation status was extended for seven years in Fall 2018.[16]
As of the 2023–24 school year, the school had an enrollment of 558 students and 58.6 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 9.5:1. There were 40 students (7.2% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 17 (3.0% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1]
The district had been classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "FG", the fourth-highest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.[17]
History
Although a regional district had previously been discussed, the efforts to create the high school gained momentum after the four districts were notified by the Long Branch Public Schools that its students could not be accepted at Long Branch High School after 1965.[18] Voters in all four municipalities approved a March 1960 referendum to establish the district.[19] The "Shore Regional High School" name was adopted in June 1960, though the public was reassured that the name could be updated "if it is found unsatisfactory".[20]
By a 70%-30% margin, voters approved a March 1961 referendum that allocated $2.2million (equivalent to $22.4million in 2023) towards the costs of construction of a facility that would accommodate 1,000 students for the 1962-63 school year.[21]
The high school opened in September 1962 for grades 9-11, with seniors remaining at Long Branch High School, which was able to end double sessions.[22][23]
Awards, recognition and rankings

In its 2013 report on "America's Best High Schools", The Daily Beast ranked the school 814th in the nation among participating public high schools and 59th among schools in New Jersey.[29]
The Shore Regional High School Blue Devils[3] compete in Division A Central of the Shore Conference, an athletic conference comprised of public and private high schools in Monmouth and Ocean counties along the Jersey Shore.[4][30] The league operates under the jurisdiction of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA).[31] With 504 students in grades 10–12, the school was classified by the NJSIAA for the 2019–20 school year as Group II for most athletic competition purposes, which included schools with an enrollment of 486 to 758 students in that grade range.[32] The school was classified by the NJSIAA as Group I South for football for 2024–2026, which included schools with 185 to 482 students.[33]

Consistent contenders in small-school (Group I/II) play, the football team won the NJSIAA state sectional championships in Central Jersey Group II in 1981, 1982 and 1988, and in Central Jersey Group I in 1997, 2010, 2014 and 2016.[37] Undefeated seasons include 8-0-1 in 1964, 9–0 in both 1978 and 1984, 11–0 in 1981 and 12–0 in 2015.

In 2011–2012, for the first time in 30 years, Shore Players did more than just one mainstage musical, after producing a Comedy: "Grandma's Getting Married;" A Musical Comedy: "Annie Get Your Gun;" and a commemorative performance: "Celebrating 50 Years of Shore Players."

Budgetary issues
The $12.1million budget for the 2006–07 school year failed to pass after it was turned down by voters in Oceanport and Sea Bright.[70] By a more than 5–2 margin, voters in all four districts rejected a $49.8 million bond referendum that would have been used for renovations to the school building.[71] Officials from all four sending districts agreed to $300,000 in cuts from the district's $11.65 million budget for the 2004–05 school year after it was rejected by voters.[72] Voters rejected the district's $11.1 million budget for 2003–04, which was ultimately cut by $161,000 by the New Jersey Commissioner of Education.[73]
The district's board of education, comprised of nine members, sets policy and oversees the fiscal and educational operation of the district through its administration. As a Type II school district, the board's trustees are elected directly by voters to serve three-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with three seats up for election each year held (since 2012) as part of the November general election. The board appoints a superintendent to oversee the district's day-to-day operations and a business administrator to supervise the business functions of the district.[88][89] Seats on the board of education are allocated based on the population of the constituent municipalities, with four assigned to West Long Branch, three to Oceanport, and one each from Monmouth Beach and Sea Bright.[90]
