Princeton R-V Elementary

Public Grades PK, KG-6

Summary

Princeton R-V Elementary is a public elementary school in Princeton, Missouri, serving 184 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Princeton R-V School District. The school has a predominantly white student population, with some unique strengths and challenges compared to nearby schools.

Academically, Princeton R-V Elementary has shown mixed performance. While the school outperformed the state average in 5th and 6th-grade math, it underperformed in 3rd-grade math and English language arts. This variability in academic achievement suggests the school may be struggling to provide consistent excellence across all grade levels. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (42.93%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students who may require additional support.

One of Princeton R-V Elementary's strengths is its efficient resource allocation, with a low student-teacher ratio of 9.4 students per teacher and higher per-student spending compared to some nearby schools like Cainsville Elementary. However, the school's racial homogeneity, with 93.48% of students identifying as white, suggests it may not be representative of the broader diversity in the region, which could impact the school's ability to prepare students for an increasingly diverse world.
