Buena Regional High School is a comprehensive regional public high school founded in 1971 to serve students in grades 9 - 12 from five communities in Atlantic County, New Jersey, United States, as part of the Buena Regional School District. Municipalities served by the district are Buena Borough and Buena Vista Township. The school opened in September 1973.
Students from Newfield, a non-operating school district, along with students from both Estell Manor City and Weymouth Township, attend Buena Regional High School as part of sending/receiving relationships with the respective school districts.
As of the 2005-06 school year, the school had an enrollment of 985 students and 65.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student-teacher ratio of 15.2.
The school was the 286th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 316 schools statewide, in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2008 cover story on the state's Top Public High Schools. The school was ranked 289th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.
An addition completed in 1999 added six new classrooms and two state-of-the-art science labs.
Curriculum
The curriculum offerings include Advanced Placement Program (AP) courses in AP Calculus, AP English Literature and Composition, AP European History and AP United States History.
Athletics
The Buena Regional High School Chiefs compete in the National Division of the Cape-Atlantic League an athletic conference consisting of both parochial and public high schools located in Atlantic County, Cape May County, Cumberland County, and Gloucester County, New Jersey. The Cape-Atlantic League operates under the aegis of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association.
Buena Regional High School's athletic department boasts teams in boys and girls basketball, tennis, and soccer, as well as baseball and softball, girls' field hockey, boys' wrestling, and football.
