Toms River High School East is a comprehensive four-year public high school, the third high school built in Toms River in Ocean County, New Jersey, United States, serving students in ninth through twelfth grades as part of the Toms River Regional Schools. It was built in 1979, as the first and second high schools, Toms River High School South and Toms River High School North, were too small for the rapid population growth in the district.
As of the 2014-15 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,490 students and 120.1 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.4:1. There were 256 students (17.2% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 80 (5.4% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
The school won several awards for its heating system, which utilizes heat generating lighting fixtures. Its school colors are black, gray and Columbia blue (blue was not an original color when HSE started). The school mascot is the Raider. The school day lasts six hours and 20 minutes. The Toms River high school day ends at 1:35 PM, one of the earliest daily closing time of any high schools in New Jersey.
The school was the 171st-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 225th in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 239th in 2010 out of 322 schools listed. The magazine ranked the school 204th in 2008 out of 316 schools. The school was ranked 205th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.
