My son attended RBCS for 3 1/2 years, until we left NJ - it was right across the street, in a converted Victorian plus another house they dragged across town - and since the students were chosen by lottery, the population was as mixed as Red Bank's, which is 63% white, 12% black and 35% Hispanic. The public schools, however, had many more black and Hispanic students than their percentage of the general population, because of the reputation of the schools. Many people in town sent their kids to Red Bank Catholic, regardless of their religion. Red Bank's population is much more eclectic than the surrounding towns, which are 90-95% white, have much better school systems, and consequently more expensive housing. If Red Bank's schools were on a par with the other school systems, though, some people would still move, because of the large minority populations. I have had people tell me so.
