Princeton Independent School District (Isd)

The Princeton Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 438 out of 968 school districts in Texas and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Southard Middle School ranks in the top 25% of Texas middle schools with a 4-star rating, strong test scores, and a low dropout rate. Harper Elementary also performs well, ranking in the top 40% of Texas elementary schools with a 4-star rating and particularly strong math scores. In contrast, some elementary schools like Mayfield Elementary and Godwin Elementary have lower test scores and rankings compared to their peers.

Across the district, graduation rates are strong, with Princeton High School boasting a 95.9% four-year graduation rate. Dropout rates are also low, especially at the middle schools. However, the district as a whole has relatively high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 54% to 73%, indicating a significant level of economic need. The district may want to examine these equity concerns and find ways to support the lower-performing schools to ensure all students have access to a quality education.
