Good people, and rigorous academics without too much pressure. Plenty of clubs and extracurriculars to get involved in. Strong focus on sustainability/environmental impact.

18% of Princeton's ED class are recruited athletes. 20 students from PHS last year matriculated to Princeton, 70 percent legacies are rejected, 5-10 percent of any Ivy freshman class are QuestBridge.With tens of thousands of applicants, including 26,000 valedictorians: be realistic with expectations. Students will do well where they decide to attend and deserve to enjoy their college years making lifelong friends.

PDS is a great school. Our son has thrived in the community. The faculty and administration are standouts- they truly care about the students' progress academically as well as their character-building and social/emotional well-being. The class offerings are varied and allow the students to develop their passions. We are very happy with our decision to send our son to PDS.
