Johnson Park School

Johnson Park School serves 388 students in Princeton, New Jersey, covering pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. It earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — labeled Exceptional — placing it 37th among 2,463 New Jersey public schools and ahead of 98% of schools statewide. That standing is backed by consistent sub-scores: academics at 9.3 and growth at 8.9, meaning students here both achieve at a high level and continue improving year over year.

The student-teacher ratio sits at 9.9 to 1, giving each child meaningful access to classroom instruction at a public school enrollment of 388. Among New Jersey's 1,496 elementary schools, Johnson Park ranks 21st — a figure that holds across multiple performance dimensions rather than peaking on a single measure. For families comparing options locally, Johnson Park places third among the seven public schools in Princeton.

That's a useful anchor: the school sits near the top of a competitive city while simultaneously ranking in the top 1.5% of elementary schools statewide. Parents weighing this school against private alternatives should factor in both the rank and the growth trajectory. A 8.9 growth score suggests results are durable — not a snapshot tied to one grade level or cohort.

With a student-teacher ratio of 9.9:1, Johnson Park School offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
