Hi,
I was able to find this link for you. Its the Princeton Educational system main site.
Education in Princeton Indiana If you look at the links on the left side of the website, you will find lots of other information about the town as well.
This is a private school: St Joseph Catholic Church and School

Hope this helps you and good luck on your move!

Hi!
I grew up in the Princeton area. Have you visited Princeton yet?

I'm sorry to say that Princeton is a trashy town. It does have all the stores and restaurants on Broadway, but it just has run down feel to it.(It always has)
The schools are not good compared to the rest of the county...kind of scary actually..I wouldn't send my kids there. When I was in high school..Princeton was the place to find the drugs and for the guys...it was the place to find the "loose" girls(to put it nicely).
If your from the Dayton area, you will find this area VERY boring.
Are you coming to Princeton because of the Toyota plant? I had lots of friends and relatives get layed off because of the slow economy. They all don't work at Toyota(some do), but at some of the feeder companies that sprouted up when Toyota came in.
Since you have children, check out southern gibson county where Ft.Branch and Haubstaudt are. They are small towns that are only about a 10 minute drive down hwy 41 south. Their schools are better and those towns are better than Princeton. You would also be closer to Evansville which will give you some entertainment options.
Pm me if you have any other questions!

Hi, Meek072

I live in Haubstadt. I can't tell you much about Princeton, although Iknow it well, I've never had kids in the edicational system. But I can tell you Haubstadt is a wonderful small town with a fabulous school. My kids started this fall and had the easiest of transitions from Texas. We're about 10-15 miles south of Princeton, still in Gibson County, and about 20-25 minutes from Evansville. I'd be happy to answer any questions I can.
