The school is located on {{convert|700|acre|ha}} in the historic Lawrenceville section of Lawrence, in Mercer County, New Jersey, United States.

Lawrenceville is a member of the Eight Schools Association, begun informally in 1973–74 and formalized in 2006. Lawrenceville is also a member of the Ten Schools Admissions Organization, founded in 1966. There is a seven-school overlap of membership between the two groups.^[3] Lawrenceville was additionally formerly a member of the G20 Schools group. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 1928.^[4]

As of the 2017-18 school year, the school had an enrollment of 818 students and 109 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 8:1.^[5] Students come from 33 states and 45 countries. For the 2016-2017 year, the school's student body was 55.0% White, 21.3% Asian, 9.9% Black, 6.0% Hispanic and 7.8% two or more races.^[6]

In 2010, Lawrenceville announced that Janie Woods, who died at age 87 in 2007, and her husband, Henry C. Woods Jr., had bequeathed the school $60 million.^[7] In 2017, Head Master Stephen Murray announced to the school community that Joseph C. Tsai, Class of 1982 and executive vice chairman of global e-commerce company, Alibaba Group, and his wife Clara had donated the largest gift in the school's 207-year history.^[8] As of June 2016, the school's endowment stood at $381.1 million.^[9]

Lawrenceville received 1,967 formal applications for entry in fall 2017, of which 371 were offered admission, giving an acceptance rate of 18.9%.^[10]

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 in 1883. An {{convert|18|acre|ha|adj=on}} area of the campus built then, including numerous buildings, has been designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark District, known as the Lawrenceville School National Historic Landmark.^[11] 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.^[12]

Lawrenceville was featured in a number of 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.^[13]

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.{{citation needed|date=May 2016}}

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.^[14] 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.^[15]

In its 2016 rankings, Business Insider ranked the school's tuition as the 22nd most expensive private high school in the United States.^[16] 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.^[17]

Historic Landmark

The Lawrenceville School National Historic Landmark is a {{convert|17.74|acre|ha|adj=on}} 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.^[20]^[21] A new campus area, built in the 1920s, does not intrude and is not included in the district.^[19]

The district was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1986.^[22]^[18] It is included in the Lawrence Township Historic District, created in 1972.

Geography and setting

The Lawrenceville School sits across U.S. Route 206, or Main Street, from the center of Lawrenceville. The village has historically been an active commercial center for students. The Jigger Shop was for decades one of the most popular student hang-outs, with a soda fountain and the school bookstore. The school assumed ownership of the store in the 1970s, and after a 1990 fire, the Jigger Shop moved from Main Street to an on-campus location. The village's pizza parlor, TJ's Pizzeria, remains a popular off-campus spot for students, as do Fedora's Café, the Maidenhead Bagel Co., and the Gingered Peach, a local bakery opened in 2013.^[25]

The school includes a golf course and owns much of the land to its east, which is classified as Green Space under New Jersey state law.

Residential life

Lawrenceville utilizes a house system, similar to many British boarding schools.^[26] Students reside in four distinct groups of Houses—the Lower School, the Crescent, the Circle, and the Fifth Form Houses—as do a number of faculty members associated with the Houses.^[27]

Publications

The school's weekly, student-run newspaper, The Lawrence, is the third oldest secondary school newspaper in the United States, after The Phillipian and The Exonian, Phillips Academy Andover's and Phillips Exeter Academy's weeklies, respectively. The Lawrence has been published regularly since 1881. Students make up the editorial board and make all decisions for the paper, consulting with two faculty advisors at their own discretion.^[28]

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. The format of the program features a series of headlines, and three to four main stories from Lawrenceville, ranging from interviews with newsmakers, sports, arts, and special event coverage. L10 News is run by an editorial board composed of students and a faculty advisor, and is created by a team of student reporters, videographers and video editors. As of 2017, the show had over 117,000 unique views on Facebook and YouTube.

Other student-run publications include The First Amendment, a monthly political magazine founded in 2010; LMAG, a semesterly fashion 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.^[29] Also published annually are the Olla Pod, 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 IVth Form (junior) class.

Athletics

Lawrenceville's rival is The Hill School of Pottstown, Pennsylvania, against which it competes as one of six schools in the Mid-Atlantic Prep League.^[30] On the first or second weekend of November during "Hill Weekend," the two schools celebrate the nation's eighth-oldest high school football rivalry and fifth-oldest school rivalry in the nation, dating back to 1887.^[31]

Lawrenceville competes with other schools in baseball, basketball, crew, cross-country, fencing, field hockey, football, golf, hockey, indoor and outdoor track, lacrosse, soccer, softball, squash, swimming, tennis, volleyball, water polo, and wrestling. In addition, the School offers a variety of intramural sports, including Ultimate Disc for the girls' Crescent Houses and 8-man tackle football for the boys' Circle Houses. The athletic directors of Lawrenceville and the other members of the Eight Schools Association compose the Eight Schools Athletic Council, which organizes sports events and tournaments among ESA schools.^[32]^[33]^[34]

In the spring of 2015, the Lawrenceville Boys' Varsity Crew team won the MAPL League Championship, beating out Peddie, Hun, and Blair;^[35] placed first at the US Rowing Mid-Atlantic Youth Championship;^[36] and then went on to place 4th at the US Rowing Youth Nationals held in Camden, NJ. The crew was selected to the Henley Royal Regatta and is widely regarded as the greatest crew in the school's history.^[37] 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.^[38] 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,^[39] then placed 14th in a field of 75 at the Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston, Massachusetts later in the season.^[40]

Facilities

There are 38 major buildings on Lawrenceville's {{convert|700|acre|km2|adj=on}} 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]

The four Crescent House dorms, Stanley, McClellan, Stephens, and Kirby, designed by Short and Ford Architects, of Princeton, NJ, 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, 12 outdoor tennis courts, {{convert|1/4|mi|m|adj=on}} 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, as well as several academic programs for students and teachers, including the New Jersey Scholars Program.

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]

Allegations of sexual abuse

Bruce Presley (79 in 2018), was a house master and faculty member from 1960 to 1984. In the wake of the #metoo revelations, students — John Watkin, Brent McCowan and Guy Dorgan — publicly accused Presley of sexual abuse during their time at Lawrenceville School. McCowan said: "It ruined my life. It caused me a lifetime of pain." He considered suicide. South Florida Gay News interviewed three additional victims who also claimed Presley abused his power and violated them during their time at Lawrenceville. All of them were 17 or 18 at the time of these alleged incidents.

According to Watkin, when he was house president, he recalled "at least 15 young men" in the house were abused that year by Presley. Watkin says he went to the student body president, who referred him to an unnamed administrator. "The administrator promised he would look into it. Nothing was ever said again." Another student at the time, Dirk Digiorgio-Haag, recently called Presley's abuse "an open secret."^[54]
