The city of Princeton, Maine is home to two elementary schools that serve students from diverse backgrounds. Princeton Elementary School and Indian Township School offer educational opportunities in this small community, though their student populations and performance metrics vary significantly.

In contrast, Indian Township School has a 100% Native American student population, reflecting the unique demographics of the area.
