Rating 4.33 out of 5 15 reviews
I would rate my experience with Princeton Public Schools as very good because I have received a broad liberal arts education, I have been challenged, and I have been introduced to new subjects and experiences. The dedicated staff and faculty at Princeton Public Schools make it a lively environment, where students are enthusiastic to learn. In addition, the sports and arts programs are well-recognized. I have had the pleasure to participate in both sports and the arts at Princeton High School, and I have gotten much fulfillment and joy from both the Choral Music Department and the Varsity Fencing Team. One critique of the school is the overcrowding issue. Many students, including myself, sit on the floor for lunch because of the lack of seats available around the school. This is unsanitary, and I hope the school can change the schedule or build a larger cafeteria to accommodate the student body.
The Princeton Public School district is definitely one of academic rigor. A student of any level in any class can find themselves being challenged mentally, sometimes too much so. With this academic excellence comes immense pressure on the children to succeed. Students often feel overwhelmed with stress with no support from guidance or administration. In addition, racial literacy is often an after thought and students aren't reprimanded for insensitive and ignorant comments and posts.
There are a lot of good things, but due to the setting, a lot of its achievements can be attributed to the self-selecting environment of relatively wealthy, and competitive student culture. There is a certain degree of opacity in the administration, and it often feels that they do not know what the residents want. There is great variation in teacher quality, but classes, clubs, and other opportunities are plentiful.
