Hi - We are a family of 5 (kids 12,12 and 9years) moving over from London for my hubbie's work in Lawrenceville. I am researching good schools and areas to live. We are looking to rent for the first 6 months and I understand it's important to get the right town based on the school of your choice......any recommendation re good high schools??? Which local town is the most family friendly, fairly suburban etc?? I would so appreciate any help.....Thanks in advance

In addition, of course Princeton schools are great but the area may be too $$. So, equally good schools (or better) and more affordable than Princeton would be West Windsor Plainsboro school district(meaning living in either West Windsor or Plainsboro).

I agree with the West Windsor poster. Specifically West Windsor High School North.

West Windsor/Plainsboro are both great towns. So are Cranbury, South Brunswick, Pennington, Hopewell and of course Princeton itself. My thinking would be, unless my spouse had a commute east of Princeton there is no need to live in NJ. You can live right over the river in Buck Co PA and get equalivant quality of life and schools at a fraction of the cost. Win Win

WW-P School district also includes Princeton Junction.

If you live in West Windsor or Plainsboro than hubby will have a wonderfully short commute

Great school district & a beautiful area in which to live.

Good idea to rent for awhile to familiarize yourself with the area. What is your rental budget? Sounds like you'll need a 3-bedroom apartment.

I would agree with everything except I would recommend West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South.

I don't want to cause a cyberbattle but what are the differences between the two WW-P High Schools (North and South)or is it just geography???
