SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 620 Illinois High Schools

Better than 90% of Illinois high schools

Summary

Princeville High School in Princeville, Illinois, enrolls 350 students in grades 6–12, serving both middle- and high-school grades. Its 2025–2026 results were above the state in every reported subject and grade except sixth-grade ELA, which was slightly below; chronic absenteeism was also low at 8%. The main takeaway is that Princeville pairs broadly strong academic results with the lowest reported chronic absenteeism among the nearby schools compared.

Mathematics is the clearest academic strength: on all-grades IAR, 70% of students were proficient, compared with 40% statewide and 62% districtwide in Princeville CUSD 326. ELA was also above both, at 69% versus 56% statewide and 64% districtwide. Eighth grade stood out in both subjects, with 86% proficient in math and 84% in ELA; sixth-grade ELA was the exception, at 58% versus 59% statewide. On grade 11 ACT, Princeville ranked behind Dunlap High School in math and science among nearby schools with results, and behind Dunlap and Brimfield High School in ELA. Its 8% chronic absenteeism was below the state’s 24% and the district’s 9%, and lower than reported rates at nearby schools, including Dunlap and Brimfield.

Results have remained strong, though the school’s lead over the state narrowed in all-grades IAR from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026: in ELA, the gap went from 27 points to 12, and in math from 35 to 31. SchoolDigger ranked Princeville at the 90th percentile with five stars in 2025–2026, up from the 84th percentile in 2023–2024; Dunlap High School ranked higher nearby, at the 95th percentile. In 2024–2025, Princeville’s student–teacher ratio was 12.3, below the nearby-school average of 14.2. Its 2024–2025 share of students eligible for free/reduced lunch was 37%, compared with a 33% average among nearby 9–12 high schools with the same measure. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students rose from the 75th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 91st in 2024–2025, close to the school’s overall 89th percentile that year; its ranking for White Students also rose, from the 67th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 82nd in 2025–2026.
