Summary:
North Gibson School Corporation has exactly one middle school in this data set: Princeton Community Middle in Princeton, IN. It serves grades 6–8 with 437 students and is part of North Gibson School Corporation. Its ranking improved from 342/480 schools, 29th percentile, 1 star in 2024–25 to 310/486, 36th percentile, 2 stars in 2025–26—a 7-point percentile gain and a star-rating recovery—though it remains below the state midpoint. The district is ranked 259 of 374 districts, at the 31st percentile, with 2 stars.
In 2025–26, all-grade ELA was 31.67%, math was 23.33%, and science was 35.03%. Year over year, ELA rose +5.70 points and science rose +7.37 points, while math rose only +0.22 points, from 23.11% to 23.33%. By grade, 8th grade ELA is the brightest result at 41.6%, only 2.4 points below the state’s 44.0%. But 7th grade is a severe weak spot: ELA was 21.01% versus 41.7% state, and math was 15.22% versus 35.9% state—both about 20.7 points below. Math is also weaker than ELA and science overall, and all-grade math is 23.33% versus the district’s 31.01%.
Chronic absenteeism is a major concern at 24.8%, compared with 16.8% in the district and 16.7% statewide—roughly 1 in 4 students. Other context includes 44.16% free/reduced lunch, $12,268 per-student spending in 2023–24, and a 13.6 student-teacher ratio, implying about 32 teachers for 437 students. Because no state or peer averages for those context metrics are included here, they are best treated as background rather than judged as high or low. Overall, the school shows real improvement in ELA and science and a near-state result in 8th grade ELA, but it still faces persistent math weakness, a severe 7th grade proficiency gap, and high absenteeism.
