Students in the West Windsor-Plainsboro
Regional School District have extraordinary opportunities to
develop knowledge and skill in world language, science, language
arts, history, and mathematics. The district’s vocal and
instrumental music, fine arts, and drama programs publicly demonstrate
exceptional results. WW-P schools also provide a broad array
of co-curricular and athletic programs, including extensive
after-school intramurals and clubs for early adolescents. |

Student achievement is one
of the great rewards for support of the WW-P school district.
Such accomplishment is demonstrated on standardized tests where
WW-P students surpass state and national counterparts. It is
a tribute to the talents of our students and teachers that we
continue to have a graduation rate of almost 100 percent. Student
achievement indicators reveal that high school students continue
to perform at high levels. Ninety-three percent of high school
students indicated that they planned to attend college or other
post-secondary education. Average standardized scores are higher
than state and national averages on the ASK, GEPA, HSPA, and
SAT.
The school district commits considerable resources to the social,
emotional, and ethical development as well as the intellectual
and physical growth of students. Each elementary school has
a full-time guidance counselor, in addition to guidance counselors
who support students at grades 4 through 12. The district also
employs two substance abuse counselors on the secondary level
and child study teams (learning consultant, psychologist, and
social worker) at every school.

Students with unique learning
challenges receive extensive support through Reading Recovery,
Basic Skills, Bilingual/English as a Second Language, and Special
Education services.
The district operates several specialized programs for students:
preschool students with disabilities; full-day kindergarten
for students with language/learning disabilities; expanded MD/autistic
program for grades 1-3 and 6-8, in order to offer program continuity
from kindergarten through grade 12; kindergarten-grade 12 (through
age 21) students with multiple disabilities including autism
and cognitive disabilities; and the Academy for high school
students with emotional needs.
The district reaches out to meet the needs of our many-faceted
school community. Diversity has become a key factor in the area
today. In order to fulfill the needs of our multicultural communities,
we have made every effort to create an awareness of the many
ethnic and cultural distinctions represented here. Children
are taught the traditions and mores not only of their own background
but also those of their classmates who come from all corners
of the world.
The school district reflects the lifestyle of a community that
takes pride in its continuing tradition of academic and cultural
achievement. The richness of the academic program, alternative
options, and extracurricular activities expands learning beyond
the classroom boundaries. The schools provide an educational
environment that motivates students to learn and requires them
to exercise imagination and sensibility in solving problems.
