Freehold Borough High School

My review rating is based on 2021-2022, 2022-2023 school years.My older son graduated this school in 2020 and the teachers were ok, kind of worn out and tired, grumpy and set in their ways. He loves school but started to not enjoy going because of this.My younger son is now in kindergarten here and this is his second year. Things have changed! The teachers are younger, more upbeat and happier. They possess the skill of passing on that happiness and incorporating it within their teaching. My younger son has had such a better experience here so far. Hopefully they continue to keep this change.

Things are certainly different in comparison to the Howell schools my siblings attended before they transferred here. They always preferred their old schools to this one. It could be their bias, but even I agree the Howell schools were better in that there were less issues with the teachers, more fun activities for the students and less homework given out. As well as the fact we didn’t have to constantly pay for this or that. Seriously, they would send my siblings home with papers for some party or whatever that needed to be funded or school shirts and such when we were used to being given these things for free or a smaller fee. I’m not sure how that all works, but it was just an odd comparison. However, for all its faults this school does try and is beautiful. There’s a ton of personality inside the school with the murals made by their students and constant projects always displayed made by the students. My siblings have even made more friendships than I expected here and I’m grateful for that. Especially grateful for the teachers that encourage them to be themselves. From my family’s experiences, it’s not the best school, but it is a good school.

St. Rose is a wonderful place to send your children. The faculty and staff truly care about their students and want them to succeed!
