Raritan High School is a four-year comprehensive public high school serving students in ninth through twelfth grades from Hazlet Township in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States, operating as the lone secondary school of the Hazlet Township Public Schools. The school was named after the former community name, Raritan Township, and opened in September 1962 with an enrollment of 778 students, increasing to over 2,300 students by 1979.
As of the 2014-15 school year, the school had an enrollment of 968 students and 77.2 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.5:1. There were 105 students (10.8% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 42 (4.3% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
Raritan High School is accredited by the New Jersey Department of Education and by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 2000. The school offers students a comprehensive program of education ranging from an academically oriented, college preparatory curriculum to courses in the vocational and career oriented field.
In May 2010, the Hazlet Township Board of Education embarked on a trial of "Going green to save green" by agreeing to enter into a power purchase agreement with a third-party vendor. Under this agreement, solar panels are to be erected on awnings over the student parking lot at Raritan High School and on the rooftop of Hazlet Middle School. The $7.5 million project will be funded by the vendor to cover the costs of construction and maintenance in their entirety and in return the Hazlet school district has contractually agreed to purchase the electricity at a below market cost. The district expects to save $1.7 million in energy costs over the next 15 years.
