Jackson Liberty High School is a four-year comprehensive public high school serving students in ninth through twelfth grades from Jackson Township, in Ocean County, New Jersey, operating as part of the Jackson School District. It is the district's newest secondary school and is the sister high school of Jackson Memorial High School. The two schools have a long-standing rivalry in both football and soccer.
As of the 2023–24 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,076 students and 74.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 14.4:1. There were 361 students (33.6% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 74 (6.9% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1]
As part of an effort to deal with a mounting budget deficit, the district announced in February 2025 that for the 2025–26 school year, all high school students would be attending Jackson Liberty High School, with Jackson Memorial High School repurposed for use as a middle school.[4]

"This summer, Jackson officials plan to close Christa McAuliffe Middle School to fill an estimated $13 million budget hole in the 2025-26 school year.... In addition, about 1,400 Jackson Memorial High School students would be merged into the student body at Jackson Liberty High School, the newer of the two high schools. Jackson Memorial would then be used to educate seventh- and eighth-grade students."
