Moorestown High School (MHS) is a four-year comprehensive public high school that serves students in ninth through twelfth grades from Moorestown in Burlington County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, operating as the lone secondary school of the Moorestown Township Public Schools. Moorestown High School was established in 1898 and has completed a $12.9 million renovation and addition project.[4][5][6]

As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,267 students and 110.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.5:1. There were 98 students (7.7% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 36 (2.8% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1]

Moorestown High School was involved in the 2003 lawsuit Hornstine v. Township of Moorestown, which involved school policies to prevent a student from becoming valedictorian because of her Individualized Education Program.
