District-Level NCES Analysis
Upper Freehold Regional School District operates 3 public schools serving 2,098 students, placing it among the smallest districts in New Jersey. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high, 1 combined, 1 elementary schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Monmouth County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $21,449 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 649 New Jersey districts by per-pupil spending. See how New Jersey compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 67.3% local, 29.7% state, and 3.1% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 35/100, ranked #440 of 587 in New Jersey against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (14 AP courses district-wide), a 340.9:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 8.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 79.4% White, 9.1% Hispanic or Latino, 6.7% Asian across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Stonebridge Middle School, with a diversity index of 37.8/100.
Its largest campus is Allentown High School, enrolling 1,033 students (51% of the district's total enrollment).
Allentown High School accounts for 49.2% of all Upper Freehold Regional School District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Upper Freehold Regional School District a distant remainder — means Upper Freehold Regional School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Upper Freehold Regional School District school enrollment varies 2.4× across entities
Upper Freehold Regional School District school enrollment ranges from 433 students (lowest) to 1,033 students (highest), a spread of 600 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Upper Freehold Regional School District student-counselor ratio is 341:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Upper Freehold Regional School District is typically wider than the Upper Freehold Regional School District-aggregate figure suggests.
Upper Freehold Regional School District chronic absenteeism rate is 8.8% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
