Princeton Academy is an amazing place and unique in the Princeton area. My son has been there since kindergarten and is graduating this year. It has helped to shape him, kindle his interests and give him real outlets for his passions whether academic or athletic.

I sent my son to Princeton Academy, after I pulled him out of Ranney School. In Ranney I found it to be a steam roller if your child was brillant he would suceed if not your out of luck, my son excelled at Princeton Academy he is learning so much and is a diffrent boy today, he loves to learn thanks to the small class sizes and his grades have shot up . I only pray they build a high school in time for my son. I can not say enough how great our experiance with this school has been. And here the kicker I live 45 minutes from the school, but to me its worth the drive.

Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
