The Upper Freehold Regional School District is a regional public school district in Monmouth County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, which provides educational services to students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade from Allentown Borough and Upper Freehold Township.[3] Millstone Township sends students to the district's high school as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Millstone Township Schools.[4]

As of the 2021–22 school year, the district, comprising three schools, had an enrollment of 2,124 students and 176.2 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.1:1.[1]

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "GH", the third-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.[5]

The district participates in the Interdistrict Public School Choice Program at Allentown High School, having been approved on November 2, 1999, as one of the first ten districts statewide to participate in the program.[6] Seats in the program for non-resident students are specified by the district and are allocated by lottery, with tuition paid for participating students by the New Jersey Department of Education.[7]

Students from Plumsted Township had attended the district's high school as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Plumsted Township School District prior to the passage of a referendum under which New Egypt High School was opened in September 2001 with an initial class of 100 students in ninth grade.[8]
