Summary:

Princeton Public Schools consists of a single school, Princeton Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 and has an enrollment of 110 students. The school's performance has declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 185th out of 290 Maine elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 207th out of 289 in 2024-2025. While the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts are close to the district and state averages, its performance in Mathematics and Science is significantly lower.

Princeton Elementary School faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% and a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 57.27%. The school's small size, with a student-to-teacher ratio of 7.9 to 1, may contribute to both advantages and disadvantages in terms of resources and opportunities for students.

Overall, Princeton Public Schools and its sole school, Princeton Elementary, appear to be facing some academic and demographic hurdles that may require targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes and overall school performance.
