Bound Brook High School is a comprehensive community public high school that serves students in ninth through twelfth grades from Bound Brook, in Somerset County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, operating as the lone secondary school of the Bound Brook School District. Students from South Bound Brook attend the district's high school as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the South Bound Brook School District.[3][4][5]

As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 677 students and 50.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.5:1. There were 383 students (56.6% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 73 (10.8% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1]

Bound Brook High School is the only high school in Somerset County with the "School Choice" designation. Students outside of Bound Brook can apply to attend one of Bound Brook's two academies: Bio-medical Sciences or Engineering.[6] The school began a 1:1 iPad initiative program in the 2012–13 school year. Since then, the school has gone wireless providing each student and teacher with an iPad and equipping every classroom with smart boards and projectors.
