I liked how nice and cool the teachers were and that my mom worked there so they let me see her anytime I wanted for the most part. Its in a nice spot, I could walked to my house and to town from school in a matter of 5 minutes. There were a lot of sports and plays that I enjoyed. I really liked it there.

We came to Princeton from another district in NJ. The upgrade in every sense was undeniable. The administration, teachers, and other support staff are exceptional. We were offered additional help to ensure our child could catch up with her classmates. The PTO is amazing.
