Summary

Princeton School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 310 students in Princeton, Wisconsin. This school stands out for its strong academic performance, high graduation rates, and low student-teacher ratios compared to nearby virtual charter schools.

Princeton School outperforms the state average on the Forward Exam, particularly in English Language Arts and Social Studies. For example, in 2024-2025, 100% of 3rd graders at Princeton School were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 52.14%. The school also has a very high four-year graduation rate of 91.0% for 2023-2024, significantly above the state average, and a low dropout rate of 1.3%. However, Princeton School does have a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 12.2% to 19.5% in recent years, which is an area of concern.

Compared to the nearby Odyssey Academy of Virtual Learning and Montello Virtual Charter School, Princeton School spends significantly more per student and has a much lower student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its stronger academic outcomes. However, the virtual charter schools have a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students than Princeton School, which serves a higher proportion of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
