The Warren Hills Regional School District is comprehensive public school district located in Warren County, New Jersey that serves seventh grade through twelfth grades, including students from the municipalities of Franklin Township, Mansfield Township, Washington Borough and Washington Township, while students from Oxford Township attend the district's high school for grades 9-12 as part of a sending/receiving relationship.[3]

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "FG", the fourth-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.[4]

Both Warren Hills Regional Middle School and Warren Hills Regional High School are accredited through the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools through the Excellence by Design protocols.[5]

History

The Warren Hills Regional School District first operated its schools in the 1967-1968 school year. The current Warren Hills Regional High School opened its doors that year as Warren Hills Regional Senior High School, and relieved overcrowding conditions at Washington High School (now Warren Hills Regional Middle School) while simultaneously providing upgraded and modern facilities for the district's high school students in Grades 10-12. The former Washington High School became Warren Hills Regional Junior High School and served the district's students in Grades 7-9. In 1989 an addition at Warren Hills Regional Senior High School was completed, allowing the 9th grade to move from the junior high school to the high school. With that the high school was given its present name of Warren Hills Regional High School, and the junior high school was given its current name of Warren Hills Regional Middle School.[6]
