Summary:

Zip code 61559 has one listed elementary school, Princeville Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 5. With no other listed elementary schools nearby in this data, parents can compare its results with district and state figures, rather than with local school peers. Its clearest current strength is all-grades math: 51% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, 12 percentage points above the state’s 40%.

Princeville Elementary School is the only school, so there is no local top or bottom performer to distinguish. Its 2025–2026 results were above the state in all-grades ELA (58% versus 56%) and fifth-grade science (56% versus 48%), as well as all-grades math. Math was not uniformly strong across grades: fourth grade was the exception, at 41% proficient compared with 42% statewide. The school’s all-grades math rate was also below the 62% reported for Princeville CUSD 326.

ELA showed the clearest year-to-year improvement: proficiency rose from 44% in 2024–2025 to 58% in 2025–2026, a 15-point increase, while the state rate rose by 3 points; the school moved from 9 points below the state to 2 points above it. Fifth-grade science also improved, from 52% to 56%, though the state gained more and the school’s advantage narrowed. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile standing rose from 54th in 2023–2024 to 59th in 2025–2026. Context figures include a 12:1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 34% eligible for free/reduced lunch that year; chronic absenteeism was 10% in 2025–2026, compared with 9% districtwide and 24% statewide. These figures describe the single school and do not allow comparisons among local schools.
