Summary:
ZIP code 54968 is served by a single public school, Princeton School, the only school in the Princeton School District. It is classified as an alternative school, serves students in grades PK–12, and enrolls 285 students. Because the district operates just this one school, all district-reported numbers are identical to the school's numbers. With a small enrollment spread across many grades, individual grade results come from small groups of students and can swing widely from one year to the next.
Several results are genuinely encouraging. Social Studies is the strongest area: the school averaged 80.0% proficient across tested grades in 2025–2026 versus a state average of 59.5%, with 8th grade at 94.74% compared with 64.63% statewide. English Language Arts also averaged above the state (62.5% vs. 54.0%), as did Science (67.3% vs. 52.7%). On the Forward Exam, the school was above the state in 12 of 17 grade-and-subject areas in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. Attendance is a clear strength, with chronic absenteeism at 6.3% compared with 17.3% statewide. Resources also look favorable: per-student spending is $20,274 and the student-teacher ratio is 9.9.
There are real concerns to weigh. Tenth-grade ACT results in 2025–2026 trail the state substantially — ELA at 16.67% vs. 48.47%, Math at 33.33% vs. 42.93%, and Science at 8.33% vs. 43.20%. The dropout rate is 5.9% versus 1.1% statewide, even though the graduation rate (91.3%) is only slightly below the state's 92.0%. Math is the most inconsistent subject: middle-grade results have dipped well below state in some years, such as 6th grade at 25.93% in 2024–2025 and 7th grade at 44.44% in 2025–2026. Overall, this is a small, well-resourced alternative school with strong Social Studies, solid ELA and Science, and excellent attendance, but uneven math and weak college-readiness signals.
