The school's student body was 45.4% (371) White, 19.4% (159) Asian, 19.4% (159) two or more races, 9.7% (79) Black and 6.1% (50) Hispanic.[1]

Lawrenceville received 2,046 formal applications for entry in fall 2018, of which 421 were offered admission, giving an acceptance rate of 20.5%.[6]

The school is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.[3]

History

One of the oldest preparatory schools in the United States, Lawrenceville was founded in 1810 as the Maidenhead Academy by Presbyterian clergyman Isaac Van Arsdale Brown. As early as 1828, the school attracted students from Cuba and England, as well as from the Cherokee Nation. It had several names, including the Lawrenceville Classical and Commercial High School, the Lawrenceville Academy, and the Lawrenceville Classical Academy, before its current name, "The Lawrenceville School," was adopted during its refounding under the John Cleve Green Foundation in 1883.[7] An 18-acre (7.3 ha) area of the campus built then, including the Hamill House and numerous other buildings, has been designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark District. This portion of the campus includes buildings designed to a master plan by Peabody and Stearns, with landscape design by Frederick Law Olmsted.[8] An addition to the campus outside of that district was built in the 1920s. Lawrenceville's student body was almost entirely white for its first 150 years, with the first African American student admitted in 1964.[9]

Lawrenceville was featured in several novels by Owen Johnson, class of 1895, notably The Prodigious Hickey, The Tennessee Shad, and The Varmint (1910). The Varmint, which recounts the school years of the fictional character Dink Stover, was made into the 1950 motion picture The Happy Years, starring Leo G. Carroll and Dean Stockwell, and was filmed on the Lawrenceville campus. A 1986 PBS miniseries was based on Johnson's Lawrenceville tales.[10]

Among Lawrenceville's prominent teachers over the years have been Thornton Wilder, a three-time Pulitzer Prize–winning author who taught French at the School in the 1920s; R. Inslee Clark Jr., who revolutionized Ivy League admissions at Yale in the 1960s; and Thomas H. Johnson, a scholar of early American poetry.

Lawrenceville was all-male until the Board of Trustees voted to make the school coeducational in 1985. The first girls were admitted in 1987, and 178 of the 725 students were female during the 1987–88 school year.[11] In 1999, the student body elected a female president, Alexandra Petrone; in 2003, Elizabeth Duffy was appointed the School's first female headmaster; and in 2005, Sasha-Mae Eccleston, Lawrenceville Class of 2002 and Brown University Class of 2006, became Lawrenceville's first alumna to win a Rhodes Scholarship.

Lawrenceville was also formerly the world record holder for the largest custard pie fight.[12]

In its 2016 rankings, Business Insider ranked the school's tuition as the 22nd most expensive private high school in the United States.[13] In its 2015 rankings the year before, Business Insider had ranked the school's tuition as the 2nd most expensive private high school tuition in the United States, with tuition and fees of $48,700 behind the $49,092 charged by Connecticut's Salisbury School. In the publication's five years of rankings, that was the first time Lawrenceville was not the top-ranked school.[14]

The Lawrenceville School National Historic Landmark is a 17.74-acre (7.18 ha) historic district on the campus of the Lawrenceville School. This portion, the old campus area built in 1894–1895, was designed jointly by the landscape designer Frederick Law Olmsted and the architects Peabody & Stearns.[18][19] A new campus area, built in the 1920s, does not intrude and is not included in the district.[15]

The district was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1986.[15][17] It is included in the Lawrence Township Historic District, created in 1972.

Campus

The Lawrenceville School sits across U.S. Route 206, or Main Street, from the center of Lawrenceville.

Residential life

Lawrenceville utilizes a house system, similar to many British schools.[21] Students reside in four distinct groups of Houses—the Lower School, the Crescent, the Circle, and the Fifth Form (Senior) Houses—as do a number of faculty members associated with each House.[22]

Publications

In the fall of 2014, L10 News, the school's weekly ten-minute newscast, was founded on The Lawrenceville School's YouTube Channel and Facebook page.

Other student-run publications include The First Amendment, a monthly political magazine founded in 2010; The Ledger, a semesterly business magazine; LMAG, a semesterly fashion magazine; In the Margins, a Diversity magazine; The Contour, a newspaper on global issues; The Lawrenceville Historical Review, the school's annual history periodical; El Artículo, a Spanish publication, and The Lit, a literary magazine published three times a year. The Lit was founded in 1895 by author Owen Johnson, who went on to write the Lawrenceville Stories.[23] Also published annually are the Olla Podrida, the yearbook; Lawrencium, the science research journal; and Prize Papers, a compilation of the best academic work in the English Department by that year's IV Form (junior) class. There is also a WLSR radio club.[24]

The Lawrence

The school's weekly, The Lawrence, is the third oldest secondary school newspaper in the United States, after The Phillipian and The Exonian. The Lawrence has been published regularly since 1881. Students make up the editorial board and all decisions for the paper, consulting with two faculty advisors at their discretion.[25]

The Lawrence has won numerous awards, including the Columbia Journalism Award in consecutive years.[26] In 2019, The Lawrence also won an editorial award from Youth Journalism International.[27] Notable contributors include sportswriter Bob Ryan in 1964[28] and businessman Joseph Tsai.

The crew was selected for the Henley Royal Regatta and is widely regarded as the greatest crew in the school's history.[36] Multiple members of this crew either went on to race for the United States Jr. National Team or row at D1 universities such as Cal, Wisconsin, Yale, Georgetown, and Northeastern.[37] or the United States Jr. National Development Team. In the fall of 2010, the Lawrenceville Boys' Varsity Crew team won the Head of the Christina Regatta in Delaware,[38] then placed 14th in a field of 75 at the Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston, Massachusetts, later in the season.[39]

Facilities

Edith Memorial Chapel

There are 38 major buildings on Lawrenceville's 700-acre (2.8 km2) campus, including the Bunn Library, which has space for 100,000 volumes. Peabody and Stearns designed the original campus of the school, which included Memorial Hall (renamed Woods Memorial Hall in January 2010), a gymnasium, the headmaster's house, five dorms, and future plans for the chapel.[46][47]

Memorial Hall in 1886

The four Crescent House dorms, Stanley, McClellan, Stephens, and Kirby, designed by Short and Ford Architects of Princeton, New Jersey, were opened in 1986, with a fifth Crescent House, Carter, opened in 2010. The Circle Houses, declared a national historic landmark, were designed by Frederick Law Olmsted.

Lawrenceville has 18 athletics fields, a nine-hole golf course which is currently closed due to construction, 12 outdoor tennis courts, 1⁄4-mile (400 m) all-weather and indoor tracks, a boathouse, a hockey arena,[48] and a ropes and mountaineering course. During the summer, Lawrenceville is a popular site for youth sports camps and several academic programs for students and teachers, including the New Jersey Scholars Program.

The school has also recently begun construction on a new facility which will accommodate dining and athletics.

In the spring of 2012, the school began to draw its energy needs from a solar farm, which consists of a nearly 30-acre, net-metered, 6.1-megawatt solar facility. The area also has several honey-producing bee hives, part of the Big Red Farm, which ring the perimeter of the array.[49]

The big red farm includes three greenhouses, 4 acres (1.6 ha) of land for farming and 20 acres (8.1 ha) of land used as pasture for sheep, chickens and pigs.[50]
