RANNEY SCHOOL

'Ranney School' is a coeducational, nonsectarian private day school located in Tinton Falls, in Monmouth County, New Jersey, serving students in beginners through twelfth grade. It was founded in 1960 by educator Russel G. Ranney to help improve students' college board grades. However, it has evolved into a superior and classical academic institution.
Ranney School maintains multiple academic departments, rigorous courses, experienced teachers, small class sizes, state-of-the-art facilities, and a plethora of activities and sports. The 61 acres are home to an observatory, a greenhouse, a modern Middle and Upper school building, two computer labs, a large dining hall, tennis courts, tracks, two gymnasiums, an indoor 25-meter swimming pool, and fields for soccer, lacrosse, baseball, and softball.
Plans are currently being made for the groundbreaking of a new state-of-the-art Lower (elementary) School in the spring of 2007, designed by NK Architects and is planned to be constructed by Joseph A. Natoli Construction Corp.
The school is a member of the New Jersey Association of Independent Schools and Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.
