Princeton Joint Unified

The Princeton Joint Unified school district in California consists of two schools: Princeton Elementary and Princeton Junior-Senior High. Both schools are performing significantly below the state average in academic proficiency, with Princeton Elementary ranked in the bottom 20% of California elementary schools and Princeton Junior-Senior High ranked in the bottom 20% of California high schools.

Academically, the schools struggle, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics well below the state averages. For example, only 9.09% of 6th graders at Princeton Elementary are proficient in ELA, compared to the state average of 44.16%. At Princeton Junior-Senior High, 0% of 11th graders are proficient in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 27.36%. The district also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, especially at the high school level.

Demographically, both schools have a high percentage of Hispanic/Latino students and a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the academic struggles. While Princeton Junior-Senior High has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 92.3%, the overall data suggests that the Princeton Joint Unified school district is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Addressing these issues will be crucial for the district to improve student outcomes.
