The Atlantic Highlands School District was a community public school district that serves students in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade from Atlantic Highlands, in Monmouth County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The district was dissolved effective July 2024 with the merger of the Atlantic Highlands and Highlands districts into Henry Hudson Regional School District.
As of the 2023–24 school year, the district, comprised of one school, had an enrollment of 246 students and 30.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 8.2:1.
The district had been 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.
For seventh through twelfth grades, public school students attend Henry Hudson Regional High School, a comprehensive six-year high school and regional public school district that serves students from both Atlantic Highlands and Highlands. As of the 2023–24 school year, the high school had an enrollment of 302 students and 39.4 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 7.7:1.
In September 2023, voters in both Atlantic Highlands and Highlands approved a ballot measure that would consolidate the two K–6 districts with the Henry Hudson regional district to form a single K–12 district starting in the 2024–25 school year.
