LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ — The Lawrenceville School is included in a recent list of New Jersey school districts based on any grade level, public and private, in New Jersey.

Niche.com, which specializes in all different types of rankings, including schools, has created a new list that is a bit different than the usual lists the company is known for. In this one, Niche has included both public and private schools. That may not sound different than Niche's usual rankings but this list includes both private and public schools and also includes elementary, middle and high schools all in the same list. Please note that this is not a ranking, but a search list, where you can see and compare all schools grouped together, organized by overall grade.

It is important to remember that every school on this top 300 list received either an A+ or an A for an overall score from Niche.
