Mater Dei Prep: A Catholic Preparatory School (commonly known as "Mater Dei High School") was a four-year Catholic coeducational high school that served students in ninth through twelfth grades, located in the New Monmouth section of Middletown Township, in Monmouth County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.
Mater Dei used to be a part of St. Mary Parish and later operated under the supervision of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Trenton.[11] The school was accredited by the Middle State Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools[6] and was a member of the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA).
As of the 2021–22 school year, the school had an enrollment of 223 students and 21.4 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.4:1. The school's student body was 66.4% (148) White, 15.7% (35) Hispanic, 11.7% (26) Black, 4.0% (9) Asian and 2.2% (5) two or more races.[10]
