About Princeton Elementary
Princeton Elementary serves 450 students in pre-K through fifth grade in Orlando, Florida. It earns a composite score of 9.3 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — with both academic performance and student growth each scoring 9.4. Ranked #18 among 3,777 public schools statewide, it sits at the very top of Florida's public education system.
That standing holds within the city as well: Princeton ranks #2 of 192 Orlando schools, trailing just one other school in a metro with hundreds of public options. The 14.1-to-1 student-teacher ratio keeps class sizes tight for a public elementary, giving teachers more direct time with each student. Academic and growth scores align closely — a signal that strong outcomes aren't driven by a single cohort or test cycle, but reflect consistent performance across grade levels.
Princeton outperforms 100% of Florida public schools on the composite measure, a threshold fewer than two dozen schools in the state reach. For families in Orlando comparing elementary options, the data here is clear-cut. Princeton Elementary performs at the highest tier by every measure tracked — city rank, state rank, academics, and year-over-year growth — making it one of the strongest public elementary choices available anywhere in Florida.
