Central Bucks High School South, also known as CB South, is a public high school serving students in ninth through twelfth grades[3], one of three high schools in the Central Bucks School District. The school is located in Warrington, Pennsylvania in Bucks County.

As of the 2024-25 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,719 students and 112.58 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 15.27. There were 232 students (13.50% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 27 (1.57% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1]

Completed in late 2004, the school opened in January 2005, meaning the first graduating class attended classes in the school only during the spring semester of that year. CB South is the most recent high school in the Central Bucks School District, following Central Bucks High School East and Central Bucks High School West. The high school hosts grades 9–12 and is currently undergoing renovation due to its previous status as a 10-12 high school. Its two feeder schools are Unami Middle School and Tamanend Middle School.

CB South is located on Folly Road. The school cost approximately $69.9 million to build and is the largest school in the Central Bucks School District.[4]
