Students At Mercer County Schools Average Very High SAT Scores

Students at three local high schools scored higher on the SAT than almost anyone else in the state, according to statistics released recently by the state Department of Education. Patch compiled SAT scores in two sections that the state Department of Education identified as "math" and "reading and writing."

The following Mercer County public schools ranked in the top 10 among 387 public schools ranked, with ranking and average:

2. West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North: 1327

5. Princeton High School: 1324

The SAT scores were part of the state Department of Education's School Performance Reports for the 2016-17 school year. The reports include figures on enrollment, proficiency scores, PARCC scores, graduation rates and SAT scores.

These reports are designed to inform parents, educators and communities about how well a school is performing and preparing its students for college and careers, according to the DOE.
