In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 151 out of 2,258 Florida elementary schools and received a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

I've been teaching for a long time and being at Princeton has been the best so far! Close Quote

Horrible School. My son has had FIVE TEACHERS IN ONE SCHOOL YEAR... and it's not even over yet. What a joke!? He's also come to believe he is not a "good boy." I'm always getting calls because the staff is unable to discipline, so it inconveniences MY WORK which is imperative to our survival. This place is a glorified daycare. Close Quote
