Princeton Public Schools

Princeton Public Schools is a small school district in Maine that serves a single school, Princeton Elementary School, which educates students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. With a total enrollment of 122 students, Princeton Elementary has a predominantly white student population (78.69%) and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.1, suggesting a more personalized learning environment.

However, the school has faced significant challenges in recent years. Princeton Elementary has consistently ranked in the middle to lower range of Maine elementary schools, receiving a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the school has an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 37.2%, which is much higher than the state average. This, combined with the fact that nearly half (48.36%) of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicates that the school serves a population facing significant economic disadvantages that may be impacting educational outcomes.

While the low student-teacher ratio could be a strength, the data suggests that Princeton Public Schools and Princeton Elementary School have significant room for improvement in order to provide a high-quality education to their students. Addressing the school's performance, attendance, and economic challenges will be crucial in ensuring that all students in the district have access to the resources and support they need to succeed.
