South Hunterdon Regional High School is a regional public high school serving students in seventh though twelfth grades from three communities in southern Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States, as part of the South Hunterdon Regional School District. It is the second-smallest public high school in the state〔Leeds, Curtis. ("South Hunterdon High sets open house; hoping for school 'choice' OK" ), ''The Hunterdon County Democrat'', January 9, 2011. Accessed January 28, 2011. "South Hunterdon Principal Mark Collins thinks his school will be an attractive option for some students. It’s the smallest public high school in the state."〕 with the smallest being Dunellen High School. Students attend the school from Lambertville, Stockton and West Amwell Township.〔(West Amwell Township School district 2013 Report Card Narrative ), New Jersey Department of Education. Accessed November 24, 2014. "Students interact with their peers at the Lambertville, Stockton, and South Hunterdon Regional High School through site visits and the use of social media technology."〕 The high school is located in West Amwell, though its mailing address is in Lambertville. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 1977.〔(South Hunterdon Regional High School ), Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools. accessed January 18, 2012.〕 In a special election held in September 2013, voters from Lambertville, Stockton and West Amwell Township passed referenda to dissolve the South Hunterdon Regional School District and to combine the three existing school districts from each municipality (Lambertville City School District, Stockton Borough School District and West Amwell Township School District), with majorities in each community passing both ballot items.〔(Lambertville Public School District 2013 Report Card Narrative ), New Jersey Department of Education. Accessed November 24, 2014. "In September, 2013, the communities of West Amwell, Lambertville and Stockton voted to approve the dissolution of the South Hunterdon Regional High School District and the formation of a new pre K-12 school district."〕 A single combined regional district would be created, serving students in pre-Kindergarten through twelfth grade, in which property taxes would be levied under a formula in which 57% is based on property values and 43% on the number of students. The executive county superintendent will appoint an interim board of education for the new regional district, which will be responsible for implementing the merger.〔Tredrea, John. ("LAMBERTVILLE: Schools turn how to make merger work; After historic vote, decisions on buildings, contracts need to be made" ), ''The Beacon'', October 2, 2013. Accessed October 15, 2013. "Now that the two referendum questions on merging the Stockton, West Amwell, Lambertville and South Hunterdon Regional High School districts into one pre-k to grade 12 district have been overwhelmingly approved, the process of implementing the regionalization can begin."〕 As of the 2012-13 school year, the school had an enrollment of 402 students and 40.4 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 9.95:1. There were 26 students (6.5% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 9 (2.2% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.〔(School Data for South Hunterdon Regional High School ), National Center for Education Statistics. Accessed March 29, 2015.〕 South Hunterdon Regional High School's small size and broad extracurricular offerings provides the opportunity for students from outside the district to attend by paying tuition, as some consider the small class sizes and environment to be similar to that of a private school.〔 ==Awards, recognition and rankings== The school was the 100th-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.〔Staff.
