Summary

Princeton Community High School is a grades 9–12 school in Princeton, Indiana, serving about 580 students as part of the North Gibson School Corporation. The school ranks 278th of 415 Indiana high schools in 2025–2026 — the 33rd percentile, with 2 stars — and its rank has slipped recently, from the 50th percentile in 2023–2024 to 45th in 2024–2025 and 33rd in 2025–2026.

Attendance and graduation are real strengths. In 2024–2025, Princeton's graduation rate was 95.1%, above the Indiana rate of 89.7%, and within its region it landed mid-pack — behind Lincoln High School (98.7%), Tecumseh High School (97.1%), North High School (95.9%) and Gibson Southern High School (95.9%), but ahead of Pike Central High School (92.7%) and Waldo J Wood Memorial High (94.3%). Chronic absenteeism is an even clearer bright spot: 10.2% in 2024–2025, well below the state's 16.7% and lower than most nearby schools, where rates reached 25.4% at Pike Central and 24.2% at Lincoln. Only Gibson Southern (5.4%) and Tecumseh (10.4%) were comparable.

Academics are the concern. SAT Math proficiency was 14.93% in 2025–2026, below the state's 25.6% and the lowest among the nearby schools listed here. Biology was 23.48% in 2025–2026 and 23.31% in 2024–2025, against a state rate of 45.6%. Reading and writing is mixed: 47.76% in 2025–2026 (below the state's 51.9%) after a stronger 55.7% in 2024–2025. Princeton spends $14,316 per student — more than North, Lincoln, Pike Central, Wood Memorial, and Gibson Southern — yet North posts much higher proficiency with a similar free/reduced lunch share (35.94% vs. Princeton's 38.45%). Declines among several student groups, including male students, students from low-income families, and students in special education, track the overall rank drop.

School only focuses on sports. The students and parents are rude. The principal is a joke. Close Quote
