North Gibson School Corporation

The North Gibson School Corporation operates 4 schools in the area, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, the academic performance of its schools is consistently lower than state averages, particularly in Math and English Language Arts.

The standout school in the district is Princeton Community High School, which has the highest enrollment and a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91.5%. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.6% is on the higher side. In contrast, Princeton Community Intermediate School has a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students and lower academic performance compared to state averages.

Across the district, the schools serve a predominantly white student population, with a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 41.42% to 56.29%. The district's financial metrics, such as per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, are relatively low. These factors, combined with the high chronic absenteeism rates, may be contributing to the district's overall academic underperformance, and the district may need to prioritize targeted interventions and support programs to address these challenges.
