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.

Ive had a great experience in Princeton high school so far. In my opinion, Princeton high school is a very safe and positive environment for both staff and students. In addition, the work that the faculties put in to eduacate is amazing. However, there are some down sides like the food and hygiene.

Princeton High School is a school that continuously tries to move forward. I often hear updates from the administration about new methods of improvement for our school.
