This School’s Reviews

4.0 Senior

4/16/2025

Proximity to Princeton University has many benefits that we are able to take advantage of. There's also never a concern with diversity as you meet all sorts of people. However, administration has been a mess past few years and a lot of changes brought with the new administration faced many negative feedback from students. Our voices have no say despite surveys results showing overwhelming opposition.

I had a pretty good time here, but one thing I will say is that the classes are very rigorous and the academic standard is set very high. The facilities are good, but the cafeteria line takes forever. There is a lot of school spirit, especially at sports games.

I don't know about now but back when I attended PHS 2006-2010 the students were cruel bullies. The administration just closed their eyes and pretended it wasn't happening because it would make them look bad.

We moved to Princeton, NJ from another NJ public school community specifically for the educational opportunities available in the Princeton Regional Public School system. Lack of opportunity and a unacceptable kindergarten experience in the previous school system forced us to enroll our first two ch...
