GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

It is a pretty good school, teachers are very nice and tests are good, the only bad thing is the lunch it kind of overcharges you for one meal. But I like it

Best school ever. Frick that other mom who said it was bad. You idiot. You Apricot. I am a middle school student who personally loves the school.

My family moved to Cranbury so we could go to Princeton High School. The bus ride to high school is long and there's always traffic around Princeton Junction Train Station, Plainsboro Road or around Stults Farm. I wish my parents moved to Princeton instead. If I stay for sports or afterschool or want to go into town I have to figure out how to get home. Not much to do in Cranbury.
