Summary

Princeton Innovation Center is a Princeton City school in Cincinnati, OH (3900 Cottingham Dr) serving 260 students in grades 7–12, and it ranks at the very bottom of Ohio's high schools. In 2025–26 it placed 792 of 795 statewide (0th percentile, 0 stars), and it has stayed in the bottom 0–6th percentile in each of the five years shown, never earning above 0 stars. Its district, Princeton City, ranks 532 of 773 Ohio districts (31st percentile, 2 stars) — meaning the district's middling average hides a severe gap between this campus and others in the same system.

That gap shows up most clearly in attendance and graduation. Chronic absenteeism at Princeton Innovation Center was 66.2% in 2025–26, meaning roughly two out of three students missed enough school to be considered chronically absent. That is more than double the Princeton City rate of 23.5% and more than triple Sycamore High School's 16.7%. The school's graduation rate was 78.3%, versus 93.4% for the district and 97.8% at Princeton High School, which is 2.86 miles away and sits at the 50th percentile with 3 stars. Princeton Innovation Center's graduation rate is the lowest among nearby schools with reported data, and it has swung widely year to year (from 61.8% four years ago to 88.9% last year).

Test scores are similarly far below surrounding schools. In 2025–26, End-of-Course proficiency ranged from 1.8% in Geometry to 27.3% in American History, with four of six subjects in the single digits; the district and state averaged near 63%. By comparison, Princeton High School posted 47.3% in Geometry and 70.2% in Algebra I, and schools such as Wyoming High School scored higher still. The school also ranks at or near the bottom statewide (0–4th percentile, 0 stars) for every student group with reported data, including by gender and economic status; those rankings reflect school effectiveness, not student ability. Its student-teacher ratio of 26.0 in 2024–25 is high compared with most nearby schools. Families should weigh the persistent attendance, graduation, and proficiency patterns carefully.
