Summary:
The city of Princeton, Indiana is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the North Gibson School Corporation. The schools include 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, with a range of academic performance and student demographics.
Princeton Community High School stands out with the highest enrollment of 618 students and a relatively strong 4-year graduation rate of 91.5%. However, the school also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 14.6% compared to the other Princeton schools. In contrast, Princeton Community Intermediate School has a large population of economically disadvantaged students, with 56.29% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and its academic performance on ILEARN tests is generally lower than state averages.
Across the Princeton schools, there are some consistent challenges. The student population is predominantly white, ranging from 79.18% to 81.88% at the different schools, with minority racial/ethnic groups making up 10-20% of the student body. Academically, the Princeton schools underperform the state averages in both English Language Arts and Math on ILEARN tests, and chronic absenteeism rates are high, ranging from 14.6% to 23.5%. These factors suggest the Princeton schools face significant obstacles in improving student outcomes and may benefit from targeted interventions and support.
