GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Over the past four years of my high school career I can confidently say that they have been some of the best years and experiences of my life. There's so much good that came out of every classroom i stepped into, if it was the teachers or the environment of the students around me there was nothing like stepping into a Princeton High School classroom, and when i'm asked about the bad I can't ever say anything much past the food that had me question just once or twice if it was edible or not. Beyond that I don't think there's much Princeton has to change everything from top to bottom was heaven to me and to me I wouldn't change anything about it.

Princeton High School has thought me so much throughout the years. I have made new friends and many connections with my teachers. While being in this high school I have seen a great amount of diversity in the school. There is now fighting, nor any other issues that might occur. I have taken 2 AP classes which by taking them I have developed social skills that I never thought that I would be able to achieve.

My experience so far has been good. The Student involved with activities is great. They make it well known that they are there for us in anyway to help. There are a lot of clubs and sports to join as well. There is a lot of diversity there, and they represent culture In different ways.

Now the city is at 25,000 with school having over 9,500 students enrolled and a UIL rating soon to be 6A. We've never had any problem with...

Teachers are great here, alot of them are very nice and understanding, most times they'll let you turn stuff in late or redo. But some teachers don't try and understand students or their learning styles, so they keep teaching in a ineffective way to where the student has to teach themselves. Some te...

As an ex-teacher who has known several teachers at this school over the years, I know the teachers are very much interested in the success of their students. I've worked with some of those teachers at other schools and they are student oriented and are willing to work with the parents to help ensure...
