Parent: L’ville is a selective, competitive school. If you are one out of 2500 accepted decide if Lawrenceville is a good fit. The school IS very demanding and you will be pushed hard to work 8:00am to 11pm every day, including weekends. If this lifestyle/pace is not for you maybe a strong academic day school with continued parental support is better. Majority boarding Lawrenceville is no doubt demanding physically, mentally and socially. Not stress free. The campus is large and you will walk miles with a backpack every day just to get to class and dining in all weather plus sports two plus hours daily. You will be non-stop busy. All the comforts of home are not the same as being at home. You must be a self-starter and be organized or you will sink. Be realistic if this is culturally a good fit, know yourself and choose wisely. Congratulations on completing your applications. Being accepted does not define who you are and does not indicate future limitations or possibilities. GBR!...Read 162 Reviews

Niche User: As a student who has never boarded before Peddie, I'd like to say it's truly an exceptional experience. My main takeaway was how nice it was to present the most authentic version of myself without outside influence. Branching off from home life and being independent becomes highly noticeable when boarding here. Peddie allows students to play critical roles in the community, teaching them real-life skills such as clear communication, time management, and self-development. ...The students are very welcoming and share a mutual understanding of not putting up with any misconduct towards their peers in any way. This encourages an environment where uncomfortable conversations with one another provide growth rather than belittlement. Everybody here wants to see you succeed; use the recourses provided, work hard, get off to a good start, and you'll come out of Peddie as a well-rounded individual who attends a top university.

Sophomore: I was hesitant with the choice to transfer my schooling to online and to ICL Academy. Will I learn? Will I have friends? The list goes on and on, but my concerns are no longer relevant following my first year of online schooling at ICL. I am shocked by my level of consistently motivated spirit to learn. I can confidently give the credit to the applicableness of my learning. I can easily relate it to myself. I am amazed by the increased efficiency during school time; through a good balance of structured learning, and freedom when necessary. Everyone has different needs and schedules. Icl does a tremendous job with flexibility. For example, I found I had some extra time during the day, so I enrolled in a college level psychology class and two more rigorous classes at they're sister school: Dwight Global. Most importantly, the community is amazing. Almost everyone participates on a high level, and there is no shortage of thoughts and opinions being dished out in class. 10/10 rec to ICl!...Read 40 Reviews

Parent: What is one of the best things about PDS? Your child can attend all the way up through high school! No SSAT needed and no competition to be accepted at an independent school after 5th or 8th grade. With applications way up this year you can happily "cruise" into PDS 9th grade without an admissions nightmare like other parents. The Princeton are is highly competitive for high school. PDS is a wonderful school with outstanding academics, a beautiful new art wing including architecture, dedicated STEM rooms, outstanding music program, and a spectacular athletic program and facility. The school has grown the school thoughtfully. Teachers all seem very warm and truly knowledgeable about their subjects and their students. Students are welcoming.

Niche User: Stuart really provides a very individualized education for girls. I have noticed an attention to the specific learning styles, interests, and needs of every student. The ability of the teachers to bring high quality programing through distance learning has not been matched by any school in the area. It was clear they were committed to delivering the same quality education, activities, and community events remotely that they are known for in a traditional setting. I could not be more impressed with the school's transition during a very challenging time. Thank you teachers for a job well done!...Read 96 Reviews

Junior: Princeton High School is a competitive school where taking APs is normal and even highly encouraged. It's a great school to challenge yourself academically, and the teachers here are very knowledgeable and always support students in any way possible. The workload can get tough, but the teachers and administration always keep students' wellbeing in mind, and are understanding if assignments are late occasionally. Academically, PHS is one of the best schools in NJ. PHS also has great arts and music programs, and the orchestra and band go on international trips. Something that hasn't been the best experience here is the rotating schedule, which makes it hard to remember what class is next, but the schedule does prevent students from missing the same class each day because of sports. Overall, the school is pretty diverse, and the students, teachers and administration are all extremely welcoming. There is a distinct sense of community here that never goes away after you are a student here...Read 328 Reviews

Parent: Our son is a senior who has attended The Pennington School since his freshman year and his experience has been tremendous! He has friends from all over the world, his classes have had about 8 to 13 students in each which has translated to personalized and high-level instruction with active student engagement/participation every day, he's participated in sports and multiple activities, clubs and fundraisers all 4 years including tutoring students in Malawi, being part of the Global Studies program, and serving on the "Green Team" where he has been able to make an environmental impact. We hosted 2 international students his soph year who have become family. And he is already set up with where he will attend college next year. This school offers so much that it has been a gift that he has been able to attend for his high school years.

The school has a vibrant international population and a nice mix of day students where we can all be friends. Hun is a very welcoming community of learners. The administration is very thoughtful.

Senior: I am a graduate of VVA’s class of 2021! I can say with sincerity that Villa Victoria Academy is the perfect school for girls! It molds girls into strong, confident, and beautiful young women ready to change the world! The faculty and staff truly dedicate their time and efforts to make sure the girls have an amazing education, a real high school experience, touch into their spirituality and St. Lucy Filippini, the founder of the school. There are so many clubs to get involved in, multiple sports to participate in, and the beautiful music program! The girls there are so welcoming, supportive, and motivational. The parent involvement is incredible and I am amazed by how many alumni still visit the school and partake in the events going on at Villa. My four years there were fantastic and I already miss it!

Senior: Hopewell Valley is a great school, it is clean, almost all of the teachers are great, except some that are lazy and don't put in any effort to help their students succeed. The curriculum is pretty solid and most teachers are friendly, and willing to help when you ask. While we DO have at least one large scandal revolving around racism because our school is predominately white, it is usually tackled well, once students make a big enough ruckus about it, which is an issue. Other than that, I think the prepare us well for college with challenging courses and assignments, a lot of the kids in the school are academically competitive and go for the big schools. It's a safe area, and the general population of the Pennington area is made up of mostly high-income white families, there is an increase in Indian and Asian families which is helping to increase the diversity of the school!...Read 177 Reviews

Senior: I like pretty much everything about the school. The academics, faculty, environment, clubs, food, sports, and more are wonderful. The school takes safety very seriously- every student is assigned a lanyard and must wear it at all times within the building. There are school police officers and police dogs available to assist whenever needed, although they're not often needed. The school could do better with their support for their music and arts programs. The programs themselves are great, but they would appreciate more funding. The school could also do better with diversity, but they can't really help the fact that they serve a mostly-white town...Read 173 Reviews

More than 80% of Lawrence High School students have joined an after school club, organization, or sports team. Seniors also have the privileged to use out-to-lunch which many schools don't offer. Whenever I struggled in academics, upperclassmen, staff, and tutors were always willing to help me! I also joined the tennis team in senior year and managed to make varsity during tennis season. The coach always makes sure that everybody has an opportunity to play, because he knows that we are all here because of our passion for tennis.

The students here are like every other school, we have the popular kids and the loners. This school is overall amazing, though it has some underlying flaws. The diversity is not the best, which anyone can see.

Freshman: Hightstown high school is the best high school to learn from. It doesn't only teaches us about studies, but there is practical work as well. There is really cleanliness in HHS. Teachers are very supportive and encouraging. Eventhough in the time of Pandemic teachers didn't stop encouraging me and my peers. Furthermore, teachers use interesting websites like PearDeck, Kahoot, quizzez, and etc, so students could maintain their interests. Our school there are many different clubs like chess, SATprep, STEM, Redcross, and etc. Moreover, we get to choose any elective we want for next year. There are electives like photo imaging, architecture, painting, sculpture. Basically, in HHS there are many different opportunities to achieve. There are after school sports like field hockey, wrestling, basketball, and track. Students and teachers also practice some drills in case of bad circumstances.

Although AP classes were not offered, students are able to take dual enrollment classes to a much greater degree than any other public school, with several students graduating with enough credits to have an associate's degree before even leaving high school. The small school setting allows you to make close bonds with other students and is highly beneficial when it comes to competition.

Senior: Ewing High School is a diverse family of students and faculty. Teachers try there best to get you understand and excel in their classes. There is plenty of focus on mental and physical health. There are all types of clubs offered and if there is one that isn’t offered it’s easy to start your own. The sports at Ewing are like little families that work hard and play hard together. Music and the arts are extremely appreciated and celebrated, with art in every hall. There are tons of resources for almost any problems or questions students have. Overall i’m glad to have spent my time at Ewing High...Read 302 Reviews

Parent: Our family joined the Chapin community last school year. Our 3 kids all settled in nicely. The school year was interrupted by COVID-19, but the school quickly implemented a plan for remote learning. As a result, we do not feel that our children missed out on any educational opportunities. Our fifth grader wrote a reflection piece about his school year and we wanted to share a quote:..."Other schools didn't care if one flower in the garden dies, because they had the whole rest of the garden. But Chapin, though, they see the flower is dead, and they immediately grow it back, and this time it's taller." ...We know we made the right choice for our family by choosing Chapin!Read 18 Reviews
