Buena Regional High School is a comprehensive regional public high school serving students in ninth through twelfth grades from communities in Atlantic County, New Jersey, United States, operating as the lone secondary school of the Buena Regional School District. Municipalities served by the district are Buena Borough and Buena Vista Township. The school opened in September 1971. Students from both Estell Manor and Weymouth Township, attend Buena Regional High School as part of sending/receiving relationships with the respective school districts. Students from Newfield, a non-operating school district, had attended the district's high school until the 2010-11 school year, after the New Jersey Department of Education approved a plan in 2009 under which students from Newfield would start attending Delsea Regional High School, with those still at Buena attending until they graduate. As of the 2021–22 school year, the school had an enrollment of 498 students and 48.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.4:1. There were 195 students (39.2% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 68 (13.7% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch. History More than 350 students from the Buena Regional district had attended Vineland High School for grades 10-12 as part of a sending/receiving relationship. In March 1970, the Buena Regional School District went ahead with pursuing construction of its own high school after receiving notice from the Vineland Public Schools that it had "phased out" on receiving students at its high school due to rising enrollment of Vineland resident students. Ground was broken in October 1971 for a new high school building on an site that would accommodate up to 1,200 students and be constructed at a cost of $4.5 million (equivalent to $ million in ). When the school opened for the 1972-1973 school year, enrollment was expected to include 700 students from Buena and Buena Vista Township, along with 200 students from Estell Manor and Weymouth Township. An addition completed in 1999 added six new classrooms and two new science labs.
