GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Princeton High School is a place that needs more diversity and money in different areas such as their arts programs.

My experience at Princeton High School has been like a roller coaster ride. My freshman and Sophomore year it was just as I pictured high school to be. I enjoyed how the classes were split into four classes a day, breaking it up into two days. It gave us more time to learn and work on assignments. But as my Junior year hit, Coronavirus happened. We were sent into quarantine and online school. I, personally, was not ready for online school because I had been used to in-person. I think that the teachers and school board did a good job teaching us online, although I prefer in-person because I learn a bit better. I liked the teachers and staff here. They were all so nice and very helpful to me. I like how my school strives to show off school spirit. Honestly, I don't know what I would change about my school. We have already changed because of the coronavirus, so things are not as they normally should be. I think we are doing the best we can to continue our education.

This school needs more AP classes. The current curriculum does not provide students the opportunity to take AP classes and earn college credit. By adding this feature, the scores would be higher. This will also draw more students to this high school.

This high school is truly disappointing as an educational institution. Schools are supposed to be a safe place our children go to further their education and pave the way for their future. Lastly, high school should be fun. I absolutely loved high school! Sadly, here, my nephew fears going to school...

I am a graduate of this same school, and I am appalled at how far the educational quality has fallen. Movies are now a staple in multiple classrooms, bullying is a huge issue, and communication from staff is nearly non-existent. I do not recommend my own alma mater to anyone and have chosen to remov...

PHS administration and staff are open to communication from the community and its parents. The teaching staff is held to high standards by its administration. I would recommend PHS's academics and extracurricular to any incoming family.
