The Academy of Allied Health and Science (AAHS), established in 1996, is a small magnet public high school located in Neptune Township, in Monmouth County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The school is one of five career academies offered by the Monmouth County Vocational School District. The school focuses on medical education for teenagers who want to pursue medical careers. Proximity to Jersey Shore University Medical Center provides students with hands-on training in a hospital setting. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 1999.
The school selectively admits students from Monmouth County, accepting about 70-75 per year. All classes taken by students within the school are accelerated, honors-level classes. Students who attend this school tend to score in high percentiles on most standardized tests and the SAT, and nearly always attend four-year colleges (usually 98-100%).
As of the 2023–24 school year, the school had an enrollment of 304 students and 22.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.8:1. There were 3 students (1.0% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 3 (1.0% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
The school has been recognized by the United States Department of Education with Blue Ribbon School award three times; 2002, 2007 and 2018.
