Many factors go into what makes a great school, and Niche.com has crunched that data to compile its latest rankings of the best K-12 public and private schools in America (click here for more on methodology).
The website broke it down even further, compiling a list of the best high schools in Mercer County.
"One thing that sets Niche's rankings apart is we consider the entire student experience, including what students do after high school, and the college search process — specifically college entrance exams — were greatly impacted during the last year," Niche says.
"As a result of this change, we have updated our methodology to de-emphasize the importance of SAT and ACT scores."
The weight for any factor that considers standardized test scores has been reduced by a third for the 2022 rankings as colleges still require test scores, but the future of standardized testing remains unclear, the website said.
The top five high schools in Mercer County are as follows, Niche says:
- 1: The Lawrenceville School in Lawrenceville
- 2: Princeton International School of Math and Science in Princeton
- 3: Peddie School in Hightstown
- 4: Princeton Day School in Princeton
- 5: Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart in Princeton
Meanwhile, Princeton High School was ranked as the top public high school in Mercer County.
