Princeton Schools Among State's Best, List Says

PRINCETON, NJ — School in the Princeton School District and private schools in town were named on a new list compiled by Niche ranking the top schools in New Jersey at every grade level.

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.

Here are the Princeton schools that made the list:

• Princeton High School (public, 9-12)
• The Hun School of Princeton (private, 6-12)
• Princeton Day School (private, PK, K-12)
• Stuart Country Day School, Princeton (private, PK, K-12)
• The Wilberforce School, Princeton (private, PK, K-12)
• Princeton Charter School, Princeton (public, K-8)
• Littlebrook Elementary School, Princeton (public, PK, K-5)

• J. Witherspoon Middle School, Princeton (public, 6-8)
• Riverside Elementary School, Princeton (public, PK, K-5)
• Community Park Elementary School, Princeton (public, PK)

Niche's methodology is based on an analysis of academic and student-life data from the US Department of Education along with test scores, and feedback from Niche.com users. You can read the methodology by clicking here.
