Best Public Schools in Zip Code 47670

ZIP code 47670 covers Princeton, Indiana, and is served by four public schools in the North Gibson School Corporation: two elementary schools — Princeton Community Primary School (K–2) and Princeton Community Intermediate School (3–5) — plus Princeton Community Middle (6–8) and Princeton Community High School (9–12), together enrolling 1,864 students. The district ranks 259 of 374 in Indiana, in the 31st percentile with 2 stars.

The Intermediate School is the academic bright spot: all-grades math is 39.43% versus the district's 31.01%, and 5th-grade math is 42.74%, slightly above the state's 42% — notable because it also has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (57.44%), the largest classes (17.2 students per teacher), and the lowest per-student spending ($11,537). The High School stands out for attendance and completion, with a 95.1% graduation rate against the state's 89.7% and chronic absenteeism of 10.2% versus roughly 16.7% for both district and state.

Academic proficiency is the bigger concern. At the High School, SAT Math is 14.93% against the state's 25.6%, and Biology ILEARN End of Course is 23.48%. The Middle School has the area's highest chronic absenteeism at 24.8%, about 8 points above district and state, along with 7th-grade ELA at 21.01% versus 41.7% statewide and 7th-grade math at 15.22% versus 35.9%. Math is the clearest pressure point across the ZIP, with the Intermediate School's 5th grade the main exception. The Primary School has the smallest classes (10.6 students per teacher), but as a K–2 school it has no state test scores available here.
