West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South is a four-year comprehensive public high school located in Princeton Junction in Mercer County, New Jersey, United States, serving students in ninth through twelfth grades. The school is part of the West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District, a regional school district serving students from West Windsor Township (in Mercer County) and Plainsboro Township (in Middlesex County).
As of the 2013-14 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,610 students and 114.6 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 14.0:1. There were 52 students (3.2% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 19 (1.2% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
The school offers several honors and Advanced Placement (AP) courses in various subject areas. The school uses a weighted GPA and does not rank students with the exception of the top five in every graduating class.
The high school was opened in September 1973 as West Windsor-Plainsboro High School and was described by The New York Times as the state's first high school to be developed with an "open space" plan, with open areas that could be divided off for instructional space. The school, constructed at a cost of $8 million, initially served 700 students in grades 7 to 10, while the remaining students in grades 11 and 12 finished their schooling at Princeton High School. In 1997, the school was renamed by appending "South" to the school's name, because of the opening of West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North.
