The Deal School District is a community public school district that serves students in kindergarten through eighth grade from Deal, in Monmouth County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The school was established in September 1953.
As of the 2022–23 school year, the district, comprising one school, had an enrollment of 160 students and 19.6 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 8.2:1. In the 2016–17 school year, Deal had the 35th-smallest enrollment of any school district in the state, with 165 students.
The district participates in the Interdistrict Public School Choice Program, which allows non-resident students to attend the district's school without cost to their parents, with tuition covered by the State of New Jersey. Available slots are announced annually by grade. In the 2002-03 school year, nearly 75% of students at Deal School attended from outside the district on a tuition basis, paying $4,300 per student, per year, with students coming from the neighboring communities of Loch Arbour, Asbury Park, Ocean Township, Red Bank and Belmar. By the 2013-14 school year, nearly 90% of the district's enrollment was from choice students, for whom the state paid the district $12,500 in supplemental aid per student.
For ninth through twelfth grades, students attend Shore Regional High School, as part of a sending/receiving relationship. As of the 2023–24 school year, the high school had an enrollment of 558 students and 58.6 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 9.5:1.
