Ocean Township High School (OTHS) is a four-year comprehensive public high school located in Ocean Township, in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States, operating as the lone secondary school the Ocean Township School District. OTHS serves residents of Loch Arbour and all neighborhoods within Ocean Township, including Oakhurst, Wanamassa, Wayside and West Allenhurst.
The school opened in 1965, serving grades 7-11. The Ocean Township seniors completed their final year at Asbury Park High School, which all Ocean Township public school students attended prior to the construction of OTHS. Thus OTHS graduated its first class in 1967. Gradually, the 7th and 8th grade students were moved to other schools. Beginning in the 1975-76 school year, with the opening of the then 7-9 Ocean Township Intermediate School, the school only served 10-12, with the freshman class returning to OTHS for the 1978-79 school year.
As of the 2014-15 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,213 students and 108.9 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.1:1. There were 278 students (22.9% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 44 (3.6% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
As of the 2013-14 school year there were 18 Advanced Placement (AP) courses offered. In conjunction with Monmouth University, Ocean Township High School offers a dual credit program called MODEL to AP students. The school's average graduation rate for the past two years is 99% and 97% of students go on to post secondary education.
