Before Lenape High School opened in September 1958, students from Medford, Medford Lakes and Tabernacle Township had attended Rancocas Valley Regional High School. With students in these three communities in ninth and tenth grades attending Lenape, the Rancocas Valley district anticipated a drop in enrollment of 90 students for the 1958-59 school year.[13]
