Summary:

Zip code 95970 in Princeton, CA, contains just one public high school, Princeton High, a very small school serving grades 9-12 within the Princeton Joint Unified district.

Princeton High is a standout for its exceptionally small size of 43 students, which allows for a remarkably low student-teacher ratio of 8-to-1 and highly personalized attention. This environment supports a strong 92.9% graduation rate, which exceeds the state average. The school has shown impressive recent improvement, jumping from a 1-star to a 3-star state ranking in the latest year, indicating positive momentum.

Academic results are mixed, with English proficiency above state averages but math proficiency significantly lower, a notable gap given the high level of per-student spending. Chronic absenteeism is also an area of concern, higher than both the district and state averages. For parents, this school offers a close-knit community with a strong record of graduating students, though families may want to inquire about specific support for mathematics and strategies to improve student attendance.
