I would have to say Princeton Middle School has fallen below the high praises it received in earlier reviews on this site. The bullying at this school is very wide spread and nothing is being done to prevent this. The student that turns in a bully is picked on worse than before and the bully is seldom

If a child is all-around adequate, but not a stand out, in sports and academics she/he does not receive recognition along with the sports, band, choir and gifted students, even though they are doing a great job. The PTO needs a lot of work. It has been run by the same people for years and needs to have some changes made so other parents voices may be heard. Read less

We have many resource classes that a student can chose from. Gym, Office, Choir, Library, Health, Computers, Health(etc.). A student can only pick two depending on if the student chose choir, or gym. Gym lasts for two semesters and choir lasts the whole year. Then you can pick two more classes(Gym Only)or three(Choir Only). But over all Princeton Middle School is a very good school for the public. Read less

The sports program at Princeton Middle School is excellent. Especially for the girls. The only problem that I have with the school itself is the simple fact that the teachers nor Mr. McKenzie feel it is necessary to notify or involve the parent(s) when there is a problem. They do not feel it is their

It is impossible to arrange for a meeting with a teacher if your child is having a problem. You can arrange a 'team' meeting where the parent(s) face all the child's teachers at once. This is not necessary when you only need to speak with a certain teacher for 5 minutes. You cannot help a child if you do not know there is a problem. Read less

Princeton Middle School is an excellent school. However, it seems to be that if you're not on the 'A' list you get looked down upon. Most athletes go around pushing other students around, and only get a slap on the wrist. It just isn't right. I'm glad that this is my last year here.
