About Red Bank:

Red Bank is a Borough in Monmouth County, New Jersey incorporated in 1908. Red Bank was originally formed as a Town on March 17, 1870, from portions of Shrewsbury Township. On February 14, 1879, Red Bank became Shrewsbury City, a portion of Shrewsbury Township, but this only lasted until May 15, 1879, when Red Bank regained its independence. On March 10, 1908, Red Bank was formed as a borough.

Situated on the banks of Monmouth County's beautiful Navesink River, the Borough of Red Bank has an area of 1.75 square miles and is approximately five miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean. The name Red Bank comes from the clay banks of the river that serves as one of its borders. Red Bank is a noted social and commercial destination, filled with boutiques, designer clothing and home stores, parks, and restaurants. Alongside Asbury Park and Long Branch the town is considered to be one of the three artistic communities of the Jersey Shore. The community is often compared to New York City's Soho and Greenwich Village.

Students are selected to enroll in the charter school based on an annual lottery, which is open to all Red Bank residents of school age.
