Summary:
The West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District is home to six exceptional elementary schools that consistently deliver strong academic outcomes for their students. These schools, which serve grades K-5, are located in the affluent communities of West Windsor and Plainsboro, New Jersey.
Among the standout schools in the district, J.V.B. Wicoff Elementary School has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in New Jersey, reaching as high as 19th out of 1,345 schools in the 2021-2022 school year. Similarly, Town Center Elementary School at Plainsboro has demonstrated impressive performance, ranking as high as 67th out of 1,357 New Jersey elementary schools in the 2014-2015 school year. Additionally, Village Elementary School has shown exceptional test scores, with 79.5% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 72.7% proficient or better in Mathematics in the 2023-2024 school year.
While the schools in the district generally perform at a high level, with low student-teacher ratios and relatively low rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, the district does face some challenges. Notably, all schools in the district had a chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the state average. This suggests that the district may need to address any underlying equity issues to ensure all students have equal access to educational opportunities.
