Info
Mater Dei Prep: A Catholic Preparatory School is a four-year Catholic coeducational high school serving students in ninth through twelfth grades, located in the New Monmouth section of Middletown Township, in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States.Mater Dei is no longer part of St. Mary Parish and operates under the supervision of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Trenton. It has been accredited since 1991 by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools and is a member of the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA).
In February 2015, the pastor of St. Mary Parish announced that the school would be closing at the end of the 2014-15 school year, in the wake of chronic fiscal deficits. A few days after the announcement, it was disclosed that the Parish Finance Council had agreed to a two-month extension in order to raise the $1 million needed to remain open. Through the Seraph's Fund, and massive efforts by the student body, $1.5 million was raised in just six weeks, and the school managed to stay open.As of the 2015-16 school year, the school had an enrollment of 345 students and 30.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.2:1. The school's student body was 78.0% White, 10.7% Black, 5.8% Asian and 5.5% Hispanic.
