In the Red Bank Borough Public Schools, we strive to be the best school district in America so we can be certain we are the best for the students, families and community. According to Dr. Jared J. Rumage, Superintendent, “No one embodies this spirit or mindset more than Nurse Cathy Reardon!”

Red Bank Primary students know the best place to find fresh fruits and vegetables - right in the middle of their school's courtyard! This fall students were able to examine, taste, and select from the bounty of fresh produce supplied by Sickles Market in cooperation with Chartwells Food Services and the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Program. One stop shopping made easy by families and staff of our district.
In 2014-15 the adults of our school community started to talk about the BIA mindset and attitude - Best In America. We embraced the idea of putting our best foot forward at all times for our students, their families and our community. Five years later, the BIA mindset is alive and well because what started with the adults has been reciprocated by our students. A great example of this is the recent achievements of our athletic teams, especially our Lady Rockets basketball team. They put their best foot forward on the court, in the classroom, in our hallways, and in our community.
The #RBBisBIA mindset starts with our staff and grows stronger because of our students. We have challenged our students to be their best selves in all they do - on the field, around our community, and in our classrooms. They have stepped up to the challenge and super-charged our school culture with positivity, resilience and kindness. These young women leaders exemplify our district's spirit!
As part of the Red Bank Borough Public Schools celebration of Black History Month, a series of videos was produced at RBMS during the month of February to inform, enlighten and educate our staff and students. This initiative helps to equip our students with the ability to navigate the increasingly complex world in which they live.
Our remarkable success as a school community is the result of many things including our commitment to the arts and our engagement in community partnerships. Our long and strong collaboration with the Monmouth Conservatory is evidence of these values. Nothing can deter us from our mission - not a pandemic or even winter weather!
The past year has been a rocky road but our Stormy Eagles have used those rocks for the better. People say the sun always shines brighter on the Primary School and our students returned the favor turning rocks into their own ray of sunshine.
Challenging times are overcome by resilient people who explore creativity, ingenuity, collaboration, and problem solving. Engineered!, the second Peninsula-based STEAM competition provided the perfect platform for local students to demonstrate these skills and attributes. And you might call it the perfect launching pad for our Rocket participants.
With safety a priority, we were excited to recently kick-off an extra-curricular basketball program for our students. Activities beyond the classroom are a key component of the #RBBisBIA educational experience. With brighter days on the horizon, we look forward to expanding student activities and an outdoor spring sports season!
Our school year got off to a great start with some familiar activities. As always, we celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month with a variety of experiences including some great art work. And we welcomed Halloween with our very own courtyard Pumpkin Patch!
What makes a great school district? Technology? State-of-the-Art Facilities? Strong Curriculum? All of these serve their purpose but without great people you cannot have great schools. In Red Bank, we are fortunate to have some of the best educators in the country.
For several years the Red Bank Borough Public Schools have faced external issues, such as chronic and severe underfunding, which have resulted in an inequitable educational system in Red Bank. Despite these challenges the educators, families, and students of this community have embraced the #RBBisBIA mindset to achieve remarkable results - results which have been recognized by the NJDOE and our colleagues from across the State of New Jersey.
The Red Bank Borough Public Schools are dedicated to providing a well-rounded educational experience for our children. Thanks to strong community partnerships we enhance our high-quality instructional programming with a variety of extra-curricular activities to assist students in finding their passion. Our special programs include Debate, Dance, Strings, Concert Band, Rock Ensemble, a full menu of Athletic opportunities and more.
Is it about colorful and imaginative creations? Is it about collaboration and teamwork? Engineering or Art? Or is it about staff and students getting up early to enjoy each other's company and have a great time!?!? It's a little bit of everything.
Kids on Broadway delights audiences of all ages and wows the crowd at a Red Bank Borough Council Meeting. Another example of the many meaningful partnerships and connections our school district shares with the local Red Bank community.

Dream BIG...We'll help you get there! It's been the tagline of the Red Bank Borough Public Schools for more than 4 years. A product of one of our teachers as part of The Dream Project (see About Us), the tagline was never more evident or meaningful than a July day in Philadelphia. Tanaiya's story provides a glimpse into our schools, our resilient and talented students, and our passionate and skilled educators.
