Students from Interlaken attend public school in the West Long Branch Public Schools for K-8 and Shore Regional High School for grades 9–12, as part of sending/receiving relationships with the districts in which students attend on a tuition basis, having ended a longstanding relationship with the Asbury Park Public Schools,[10][11] as do students from Loch Arbour, New Jersey, who began attending schools in West Long Branch for K-8 and Shore Regional for 9–12 starting in the 2017–18 school year, after leaving the Ocean Township School District.[12][13] Students from Deal attended the Deal School District for K-8 and then attend Shore Regional following the termination of its previous agreement with Asbury Park.[14]
Shore Regional High School has been an IB World School since April 2007, offering students the IB Diploma Programme.[15] The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 1969.[7]

Athletics
The Shore Regional High School Blue Devils[5] compete in Division A Central of the Shore Conference, an athletic conference made up of private and public high schools in Monmouth and Ocean counties along the Jersey Shore.[6][23] The league operates under the jurisdiction of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA).[24] With 462 students in grades 10–12, the school was classified by the NJSIAA for the 2015–16 school year as Central Jersey, Group I for most athletic competition purposes, which included schools with an enrollment of 12 to 467 students in that grade range.[25] The school was classified by the NJSIAA as Group II South for football for 2018–2020.[26]
The school participates with Monmouth Regional High School in a joint ice hockey team in which Ocean Township High School is the host school / lead agency. The co-op program operates under agreements scheduled to expire at the end of the 2023–24 school year.[27]
The school was the winner of the 2014–15 ShopRite Cup for Group I, finishing with 68 points.[28] The school repeated as Group I ShopRite champion in 2015–16 with first-place finishes in girls tennis, field hockey, girls soccer and football, a second-place finish in girls lacrosse plus points for having no disqualifications in the winter and spring seasons.[29]
Shore Regional's most successful men's program has been the football team. 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.[30] Undefeated seasons include 8-0-1 in 1964, 9–0 in both 1978 and 1984, 11–0 in 1981 and 12–0 in 2015. The 1981 team was the Central Jersey Group III champion, defeating Asbury Park High School by a score of 35-0 in the finals to finish 11-0.[31] The 2010 team finished the season with an 11-1 record after winning the Central Jersey Group I sectional title with a 30-6 win against Dunellen High School in the championship game.[32] The team won the Central Jersey Group I state title in 2015 with a 56–28 win against Palmyra High School.[33] The school has had a longstanding football rivalry with Point Pleasant Beach High School, and leads the series with an overall record of 30-12 through the 2017 season, including the games in which the two teams faced each other in the Central Jersey Group I championship game in both 2013 and 2014. NJ.com listed the rivalry at 29th on their 2017 list "Ranking the 31 fiercest rivalries in N.J. HS football".[34]
The wrestling team won its first sectional championship and 8th overall divisional championship in 2019 with a 45–19 win over rival Point Pleasant Beach in the Central Jersey Group I finals.[35][36][37] Nine wrestlers on that team also qualified for the region 5 tournament and four wrestlers were crowned as district champions [38] including Jack Maida who would go on to finish 6th in the state at 106 lbs and Al De Santis who would place 7th in the state the following year at 138 lbs. The team was also ranked 8th in the Shore Conference that year, its highest ranking ever, and placed 5th in the Shore Conference Tournament. Head Coach Dave Porta, who has been the Blue Devils head coach since 2010, was named District 20 Coach of the Year, Region 5 Coach of the Year, and Shore Conference Wrestling Coach of the year by numerous media outlets including the Asbury Park Press,[39] NJ.com, and Shoresportsnetwork.com.[40] Assistant Coach Rich Santangelo was also named the District 20 Assistant Coach of the Year as well as the Jersey Shore Interscholastic Wrestling Association Assistant Coach of the year that season. Since 2010, the team has crowned 12 district champions including Luke Bush, Derek Arnette, Austin Cannon, Jack Maida, Taylor Sousa, Mike McGhee and Al De Santis.[41] All 10 of the Blue Devils 100 match winners have come from 2010 and on as well.
With the emergence of women's lacrosse in the Shore Conference, Shore Regional now has two premier state-recognized women's programs.
The field hockey team has enjoyed great success for decades, with Coach Nancy Williams having won 700 games in 37 years coaching, making her the winningest coach in the nation.[42][43] The field hockey team won the Central Jersey Group II sectional title in 1979, 1980, 1983, 1984, 1986, 1987, 1989, 1991–1995 and 2000, won the Central Jersey Group I title in 1996–1999, 2001 and 2002, and won the South Jersey Group I title in 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2018 and 2019. The team won the Group II state championship in 1979, 1980, 1986, 1992–1994 and won the Group I championship in 1996, 1998, 1999, 2002, 2009, 2011, 2013-2015, 2018 and 2019. The program's 16 state championships are the fourth-most of any school in the state.[44] The 1980 team finished the season 20-0 and extended their winning streak to 41 games after winning the Group II title with a 1-0 win against Vernon Township High School in the tournament final at Mercer County Park.[45] In 2007, the field hockey team won the North II, Group I state sectional championship with a 2–1 win over Pingry School in the tournament final.[46]
The 1988 softball team finished the season with a record of 31-2 after winning the Group II state title, defeating Whippany Park High School by a score of 2-0 on a two-hitter in the championship game.[47][48][49] NJ.com / The Star-Ledger ranked Shore as their number-one softball team in the state in 1988.[50]
The baseball team won the Group II state championship in 1993, defeating defending-champion Rutherford High School by a score of 5-1 in the tournament final to finish the season 23-5.[51][52]
Shore Regional won its first state title in men's cross country during the 2001 season and went on to repeat as Group I state champions in 2002.[53] The women's cross country team won their first state title in 2001 season. That team went on to repeat as state champions in 2002 in Group I, and again in both 2003 and 2004 in Group II.[54]
The boys' track team won the Group I indoor relay state championship in 2005 and 2006.[55]
The 2006 girls' lacrosse team made Shore Regional and Shore Conference history by winning the Group B state championship against West Essex High School. This win enabled the team to advance to the state final against Moorestown High School, the furthest any team from Shore Regional team in the history of the lacrosse program has ever advanced this far. The girls lacrosse won the 2007 South, Group I state sectional championship, edging Holy Cross High School 10–9 in the tournament final.[56] The team moved on to win the Group I state championship with a 9–7 win vs. Mountain Lakes High School.[57][58]
The girls' soccer team was Group I co-champion in 2013 with Glen Ridge High School.[59]
Shore Players
Shore Players, the Shore Regional theatre department, has focused mainly on musicals and has performed productions such as West Side Story, Fiddler on the Roof, Grease, Seussical, Evita, one of their largest productions yet, Beauty and the Beast (which won several Count Basie Awards, including Overall Musical, Outstanding Choreography, Set Design and Chorus), 'Over Here!, and Gypsy (in which a few students won Count Basie and Papermill Awards). For the past 3 years, alumnus Todd Aikens has taken the director's chair, taking things back to the days when Shore Players performed numerous mainstage productions per year. 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." Their 2013 performance of "Grease" will be performed for the second time in Shore Regional's history, since it debuted in 2000.[60]
Band program
In the band program there are several subdivisions such as jazz band, concert band and marching band.
Budgetary issues
The $12.1 million budget for the 2006–07 school year failed to pass after it was turned down by voters in Oceanport and Sea Bright.[61] 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.[62] 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.[63] 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.[64]
Construction
The district approved construction to replace the heating, renovate rooms, and install new air conditioning to the rooms. Due to the construction the rear cafeteria parking lot is blocked off as it is currently being used to store supplies. Only those with deliveries or workers are allowed beyond the blockades.

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 day-to-day operation of the district.[73][74] 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.[75]
