Williamstown High School is a four-year comprehensive community public high school located in the Williamstown section of Monroe Township in Gloucester County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, serving students in ninth through twelfth grades as the lone secondary school of the Monroe Township Public Schools. The school was established in 1958. [4]

Contents

As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,782 students and 124.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 14.3:1. There were 365 students (20.5% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 93 (5.2% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch. [1]

Construction

The high school was designed to handle an initial enrollment of 800 students when it was to open for the 1958-59 school year and was constructed at a cost of $1.3 million (equivalent to $13.7 million in 2023). [5] Prior to the opening of the high school, students from Monroe Township had attended Glassboro High School. The ending of the sending/receiving relationship with the Glassboro Public Schools was expected to cut the cost of educating high-school students by almost 25%. [6]

Construction on the current school building began in 1994 and was completed in 1997. Prior to 1997, Williamstown High School was located in what is currently Williamstown Middle School. The school mascot is a Brave and the school colors are Royal Blue and White. [2]

Construction began again during the 2007-2008 school year on the high school to build an additional two wings because of overcrowding and to build a new auxiliary gym/dance studio. A few renovations in the existing building were also done to replace some old piping, wiring, and the gym and stage floor. The construction was completed between December 2008 and January 2009.

[10] Schooldigger.com ranked the school 194th out of 381 public high schools statewide in its 2011 rankings (a decrease of 29 positions from the 2010 ranking) which were based on the combined percentage of students classified as proficient or above proficient on the two components of the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA), mathematics (79.6%) and language arts literacy (91.4%).
