Princeton Charter School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Princeton Charter School is a charter school in Princeton Township, in Mercer County, New Jersey, serving students in kindergarten through eighth grade.
The school is the only public school in either Princeton Township, New Jersey or the Borough of Princeton, New Jersey which is not operated by the Princeton Regional Schools district.
The school is one of over fifty schools opened under charters granted since 1997 by the Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Education. These schools operate independently of local Boards of Education, being funded on a per student basis by locally-raised tax revenues. It is accredited by the American Academy for Liberal Education.
During the 2004-05 school year, Princeton Charter School was awarded the Blue Ribbon School Award of Excellence by the United States Department of Education, the highest award an American school can receive.[1]

Admission is determined by lottery (except where a sibling is previously enrolled) open to all students from the district. However, demographics reveal that the resulting enrollees are disproportionately Caucasian or Asian, with very few African-American students.
