Moorestown High School is a four-year comprehensive public high school that serves students in ninth through twelfth grades from Moorestown in Burlington County, New Jersey, United States, operating as the lone secondary school of the Moorestown Township Public Schools. Moorestown High School was established in 1904 and recently completed a $12.9 million renovation and addition project, providing a modern, state-of-the-art facility.
As of the 2014-15 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,337 students and 114.1 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.7:1. There were 92 students (6.9% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 32 (2.4% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
Moorestown High School was involved in the 2003 lawsuit Hornstine v. Moorestown, which involved school policies to prevent a student from becoming valedictorian because of her Individualized Education Program.
The first goal of Moorestown High School is to foster a school climate of mutual respect and dignify for all high school students and staff by providing the opportunity to learn in a non-threatening environment. A second goal is the continuance of educational technology application to all school programs by enabling students to access technological advances. Community standards and the expectations which the students bring to the school encourage participation.
For the 1999-2000 school year, Moorestown High School was awarded the Blue Ribbon School Award of Excellence by the United States Department of Education, the highest award an American school can receive.
