Summary

Princeton Elementary is a high-performing public school in Orlando, FL, serving 444 students in grades PK-5 within the Orange district, and it has earned a 5-star rating and a spot in the 94th percentile statewide for its consistent academic excellence.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance across all subjects, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math for grades 3-5 ranging from 77% to 89%, and a remarkable 88% proficiency in 5th-grade Science—28 points above both the district and state averages. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 15.9% is less than half the district rate of 35.2%, a key factor in student success. Princeton also demonstrates strong efficiency, achieving top-tier results with a moderate spending of $12,633 per student, compared to lower-performing nearby schools like Rock Lake Elementary ($17,331 per student) and Lake Silver Elementary ($15,610 per student).

Interestingly, Princeton Elementary is a direct competitor to the area's best, such as Hillcrest Elementary (98th percentile), and even outperforms it in some areas like 3rd-grade Math (89% vs. 82%) and 3rd-grade ELA (89% vs. 87%). However, a stark contrast exists with Princeton House Charter, just 2.34 miles away, which ranks in the 0th percentile—showing that school quality is driven by leadership and community support, not just location. Princeton's consistent upward trajectory over the past decade points to a stable, effective school culture that delivers strong results for its students.

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
