Great school, terrific principal, mostly really good teachers and incredible parental involvement and support. People move to Cranbury for the school and that is a virtuous cycle because then the community rallies behind the school and kid-friendly activities. Classroom resources at this school are better than Princeton High School and on-par with many private schools. Great music program. We and the kids have really liked the single K-8 system. Small to medium class sizes but typically only about 3 classes per grade. Everyone gets to know each other and the teachers and administration know everyone. Great test scores. A few bad teachers but they mostly don t last. Main downside of small school is limited and under-developed sports program in middle school and not enough students and teachers to support a true elective system in middle school like most would have.

Caring school environment with the rare but desirable preK through 8 grade model. Teachers know their students inside and out.

I had two children graduate from Cranbury and then Princeton High, the public HS for all Cranbury children. The K-8 environment is wonderful for the big and the little kids. The care that the teachers and administration have for each child is akin to a private school Everyone knows everyone and cares. no a
