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.

I enjoyed my years at Princeton High School. I never felt threatened or that my opinion did not matter. I would like to see the staff push students more into clubs and nonathletic organizations.

This school in many ways is better than I could have imagined. There are many different opportunities for each student to gain the aid and assistance they need to succeed after graduation.

Princeton High school was a great school, not because of the education, but because of the people. The faculty at the school was top notch and varied, and the students of my year were among the best the school has ever seen. I've explained the good, but there are plenty of negative points as well. No dual credit or AP options were available the entire time I attended, and other classes had tendencies towards violence. There were stabbings on school grounds, and many issues with drugs. I don't believe the hard working and united majority should be outweighed by the few bad eggs.

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.
