The school consistently ranks amongst the top open-admissions public high schools in the state concerning SAT scores, and was ranked first in the state amongst open-admissions schools in 2009.〔Mooney, John and Robert Gebeloff. ("In New Jersey, Magnets Give Suburban Schools a Race" ), ''The New York Times'', February 06, 2009.〕 ==Overview== Princeton High is located between Moore Street and Walnut Lane. The district middle school, John Witherspoon Middle School, is located across from the high school athletic fields on Walnut Lane. The school offers 200 courses in many subjects and levels, including most of the courses in the Advanced Placement Program. More than 70% of students take at least one AP or accelerated course. Additionally, the ''High School Program at Princeton University'' permits qualified juniors and seniors to take free courses at Princeton University if they have exhausted all high school course alternatives within a discipline, receiving only high school credit for any university courses successfully completed.〔(2006 Students Handbook: High School Program at Princeton University ), Princeton High School, p. 52. Accessed November 1, 2007.〕 The school contains over 250 classrooms, several equipped science labs, two gymnasiums, a performing arts center, a fitness center, a garden, athletic turf and tennis courts. Some of this came from significant reconstruction from 2003 to 2007 as part of an $86 million project to renovate the district's school buildings, also including a new mathematics wing and renovated library.〔("Construction Over, District Prepares to Track Performance" ), September 5, 2007.
