Summary:

The city of Princeton, Indiana has only one middle school, Princeton Community Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past few years, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger and a ranking around the 250th-300th range among Indiana middle schools.

Princeton Community Middle School's academic proficiency is below the state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's ELA proficiency for all grades was 25.97%, compared to the state average of 40.5% for 6th grade, 37.9% for 7th grade, and 42.7% for 8th grade. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, which may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance.

Compared to the North Gibson School Corporation district, of which it is a part, Princeton Community Middle School's performance is generally lower, suggesting that the school may be facing challenges that are not unique to just this school, but rather systemic issues within the district. The school's per-student spending for the 2023-2024 school year is $12,268, and its student-teacher ratio is 13.4, which is slightly lower than the state average.
