Best Public Schools in Princeton, MO

Summary:

The city of Princeton, Missouri is home to two schools - Princeton R-V Elementary and Princeton R-V Junior-Senior High, both part of the Princeton R-V school district. While the elementary school stands out for its strong mathematics performance, the junior-senior high school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years.

Princeton R-V Elementary boasts impressive mathematics scores, with 61.9% of 5th graders and 72% of 6th graders scoring proficient or better on the MAP test, significantly outperforming the state average. In contrast, Princeton R-V Junior-Senior High has experienced a drop in its statewide ranking, falling from 221 out of 460 high schools in 2018-2019 to 261 out of 352 in 2022-2023, and is now rated only 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Both schools serve a predominantly white student population, with Princeton R-V Elementary at 93.48% and Princeton R-V Junior-Senior High at 94.44%. However, a significant portion of students at both schools come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with over 38% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The lower student-teacher ratio at the elementary school (9.4) compared to the junior-senior high (10.5) may be a contributing factor to the stronger academic performance observed at the elementary level.
