Back-to-school season is here, and school performance continues to be an important consideration for many families moving to the Princeton area.
A recent ranking of New Jersey high schools by SAT scores included four schools from our local market in the Top 21:
- West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South — #13 with an average SAT score of 1356
- West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North — #14 with an average SAT score of 1341
- Montgomery High School — #17 with an average SAT score of 1330
- Princeton High School — #19
For buyers considering Princeton, West Windsor-Plainsboro, Montgomery, or surrounding Mercer County communities, schools can play a major role in deciding where to live.
Strong school districts can also contribute to housing demand, which is one reason education remains such an important part of understanding the local real estate market.
If you’re thinking about moving to Princeton or the surrounding area, understanding the schools, neighborhoods, commute options, and housing market can help you narrow down which community is the best fit.
