Pemberton Township High School is a four-year comprehensive public high school that serves students in ninth through twelfth grade from Pemberton Township, in Burlington County, New Jersey, United States, operating as the lone secondary school of the Pemberton Township School District. The school is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools.
As of the 2014-15 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,039 students and 99.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.5:1. There were 355 students (34.2% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 112 (10.8% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
A united high school for grades nine through twelve opened at the Arney's Mount Road site in 1990; the high school was previously split with grades 9 and 10 attending Pemberton High School No. 1 on Fort Dix Road (now the Helen A. Fort Middle School) and grades 11 and 12 attending school at this building then known as Pemberton High School No. 2.
In 1999, as part of its efforts to discourage students from smoking, the Pemberton Township Council established fines for students caught smoking in school bathrooms, with fines assessed at $100 for a first offense and $200 for each additional incident.
In 2014 the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression "awarded" Pemberton Principal Ida Smith a "Muzzle" for censoring student publications.
The school was the 293rd-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 339 schools statewide in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2014 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", using a new ranking methodology. The school had been ranked 195th in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 266th in 2010 out of 322 schools listed. The magazine ranked the school 257th in 2008 out of 316 schools. The school was ranked 277th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.
