David Brearley High School is a four-year comprehensive public high school that serves students in ninth through twelfth grades from Kenilworth in Union County, New Jersey, United States, as part of the Kenilworth Public Schools. The school is named for David Brearley, a signer of the United States Constitution.

The district participates in the Interdistrict Public School Choice Program at David Brearley High School, having been approved on November 2, 1999, as one of the first ten districts statewide to participate in the program.[2] The school system participates in New Jersey's Interdistrict Public School Choice Program at the David Brearley Middle / High School in grades 7-10.[3] Each school year, slots are made available for seventh through tenth grades. Prospective Choice participants must be residents of Union County eligible for placement in grades 7-10 who were enrolled in a public school during the full year prior to entry to the Kenilworth Public Schools.[4] Seats in the program for non-resident students are specified by the district and are allocated by lottery (if there are more applicants than available slots), with tuition paid for participating students by the New Jersey Department of Education.[5]

Students from Winfield Township attend the school as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Winfield Township School District.[6]

As of the 2008-09 school year, the school had an enrollment of 700 students and 54.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.8.[1]

The school was the 113th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 322 schools statewide, in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2010 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", after being ranked 178th in 2008 out of 316 schools.[7] The school was ranked 162nd in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.[8]
