Summary
Princeton Online MN 6-8 is a small online middle school in Princeton, Minnesota, serving grades 6–8 with just 25 students as part of the Princeton Public School District. For 2025–2026, it ranked 127 of 546 schools (77th percentile, 4 stars), placing it above its district (69th percentile, 3 stars) and above the same-district Princeton Middle School (64th percentile, 3 stars). Only one year of rank history is available, so no trend can be confirmed.
Academically, the school shows a distinctive split. Reading proficiency is 54.5%, above the district (47.2%) and state (48.6%), and science is 30.0% — the highest among all reported nearby middle schools, including Salk Middle School, Vandenberge Middle School, and Zimmerman Middle. Math, however, is the clear weak spot at 26.1%, below the district (45.5%), the state (44.9%), and every reported nearby school, such as Big Lake Middle School, St. Francis Middle, and Isanti Middle School. Eighth-grade math (36.4%) follows the same pattern. Notably, 48% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — the second-highest rate in the comparison group, behind only Saints Online Middle School (56.25%).
With only 25 students, a single student can shift results by several percentage points, and the state suppresses some grade-level scores, so these figures should be read with caution. Still, the contrast with Princeton Middle School, 1.72 miles away with 740 students, is striking: the online school posts higher reading and science results but lower math, suggesting a different student population or instructional model. Math appears to be the clearest priority, while reading and science are relative strengths.
