I am having a positive experience at South so far.
There are rigorous academic courses at different levels: AP, honors and regular. The student body is diverse. No matter your interests, you can find a group of people who share your interests. Most teachers are supportive. Some of the older teachers have retired recently. The school is safe, resourced, and has good facilities. The cafeteria offers many options - quality of food can vary. There are activities from sports, clubs, theatre and more.
Some areas that could be improved are school spirit. Except for homecoming, school spirit is lackluster. Admin has been working on improving school spirit. South can also be academically competitive. Admin has also been fixing that with social emotional learning. A final feature is South has no walls, which can be good or bad depending on what you like.

I'm currently a sophomore in this school. MOST of the staff and teachers are very kind and teach comprehensively. However, there are a few teachers with whom students have issues. Regarding school spirit and culture, I would give South a 10/10. Everyone is very involved and passionate about their school. The school has lots of resources and even distributed brand new driver's education books for us. The food in my freshman year was average. The regular pizza, milk cartons, juice, etc. It is quite diverse and there are people from all kinds of backgrounds that study here. There is a good amount of options regarding sports for both boys and girls as well. Overall, this is a great school in which students also feel safe. The school educates students on many important, relevant topics such as the effects of drugs on mental health. There is also a wide range of safety drills that are practiced sporadically.
Apart from the rigorous and challenging coursework offered in various STEM and liberal arts subjects, West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South offers great opportunities for students to grow outside of the academic environment by participating in extracurriculars such as sports, clubs, and theater. Giving students the opportunity to take initiative in their community by starting their own clubs after school or joining the Student Council are other prominent benefits of attending this school. Moreover, the people at WWP High School South, like the various teachers, have helped students grow their knowledge as well as other skills and traits needed for the real world in the 21st century.
Something I would like to see change in this school is the stressful environment. There is great collaboration between students and teachers; however, I believe there is room for more collaboration between parents with teachers and parents with students.
