Summary

Princeton Elementary School in Princeton, LA, serves 491 students in grades 4 and 5 within the Bossier Parish school district, and has recently achieved a 4-star rating, ranking in the 80th percentile statewide—a significant leap from previous years. This mid-sized school stands out for its exceptional academic performance, outpacing both the district and state in every subject: 75% proficiency in Math, 82% in English Language Arts, and 73% in Social Studies. Notably, Princeton Elementary achieves these results despite having a higher student-teacher ratio (18:1) than many nearby high-performing peers, such as Legacy Elementary (15.2:1) and Stockwell Place Elementary (14.6:1), suggesting strong teacher effectiveness and efficient school operations.

The school demonstrates remarkable strengths in supporting specific student groups. It ranks in the 86th percentile statewide for male students, a dramatic improvement from the 61st percentile just two years prior, indicating targeted strategies are working well for this demographic. Additionally, Princeton Elementary excels with its special education students, ranking in the 84th percentile statewide—a standout achievement compared to many schools. However, the school faces a significant challenge with its English Language Learner (ELL) population, which ranks in the 23rd percentile, highlighting a critical area for growth. This contrast shows that while the school is highly effective for many students, it has work to do in supporting ELL learners.

Princeton Elementary is part of a cluster of high-performing schools in northern Bossier Parish, including Haughton Elementary (81st percentile) and W.T. Lewis Elementary (86th percentile), creating a zone of academic excellence that contrasts with lower-performing schools in the southern part of the district. The school has shown a strong upward trajectory, with broad-based improvements across most subgroups, though its chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5% is at the state average. Despite past spikes in absenteeism, the school has maintained its academic gains, suggesting effective in-class instruction and support for students when they are present.
