Jamesburg High School, which was founded in 1905, graduated its last class in June 1979. Since the 1979-80 school year, Jamesburg's high school students have attended Monroe Township High School in Monroe Township, as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Monroe Township School District. As of the 2017-18 school year, the high school had an enrollment of 2,307 students and 173.7 classroom teachers, for a student–teacher ratio of 13.3:1.
With annual tuition costs per student at Monroe Township High School rising past $16,000 as the Monroe district has added debt service costs into their tuition charges, the Jamesburg Public Schools has looked for an alternate high school in the area to send students at lower cost, which would have started with the freshman class in 2012-13, though students already enrolled at Monroe Township High School would continue their attendance there until they graduate. The Jamesburg district contacted 18 districts and received interest from high schools in the Freehold Regional High School District, Matawan-Aberdeen, Old Bridge, South Amboy and West Windsor-Plainsboro, which had been sent demographic information in July 2011 about the Jamesburg high school population as part of their review process. However, in October 2011, the district decided to continue sending their high school students to Monroe Township.
The first building to house the high school was eventually demolished and replaced by the current Grace M. Breckwedel Middle School building. The second building that housed the high school was turned into an office complex, which is still there today and known as Forsgate Commons. It is located on the intersection of Forsgate Drive and Davison Avenue, directly behind the district's John F. Kennedy Elementary School.
