Red Bank High School

I am new to the district. My children will be attending next year (2012-2013). Therefore, I cannot give the school an accurate and honest rating.

Few of the teachers at this school are able to work with students who have different learning styles, special needs, and IEPs in a manner that will enable them to succeed. For the most part, the school's leadership conveys a "let them fail" attitude which can be frustrating and debilitating. Like another parent said on this website, many students slip through the cracks. More can be done to instill in teachers that "failure is not an option." If a student is working hard to pass--work with that student and communicate what needs to be done to his/her parent to pass the course. Don't just let the student fail. To me, the odds are stacked against special needs students at Red Bank High School.

I love being a part of this school. There is so much school spirit and motivation in our athletic department. And as far as acedemics go, i think teachers go above and beyond to encourage us to do our best and go as far as we can. I have met some of the greatest teachers i think i could ever meet.

Under the new leadership of Principal Gail Chuy and Change Coach Susan Thurman, RBHS is once again flourishing like it did in the old days. Its career academies are winning national awards, its athletic and JROTC programs are the best in the county, and its students often beat out the area's private school students in academic scholarship contests. Its teachers even receive rave reviews from parents who formerly sent their children to expensive religious private schools because of the good teacher-parent contact. It's a new era for RBHS, and I am proud to be a teacher at what I consider the best public high school in the county.

I graduated from Red Bank in 2003 I learned more there in the broadcasting program than I am in college! The teachers encouraged me in each subject. Overall, good environment.

As a student I enjoy school. The dress code needs to lighten up a little. Overall I like it.

Great school IF you don't have learning disabilities...teachers do what they are expected, but didn't go the extra mile. As far as extracurricular activities, the student has to be self-motivated.Teachers did not work with the parent as much as I felt my child needed. IF it hadn't been for Sylvan Learning Center, we wouldn't have made it.

I am a graduate of the 2005 RBHS class. Next year RBHS will be undergoing many new changes with the stricter dress code, block scheduling, and academies. I feel during my time at RBHS a main problem was the faculty not supporting the teachers when enforcing dress code, disciplining a student, or such. I ,however, did enjoy my time at RBHS but feel that improvements need to be made. I hope that with the many new changes to come that RBHS will gradually improve.
