My son and daughter have attended Princeton since kindergarten. My son has graduated and now is in the 6th grade with an awesome foundation to grow from. My daughter is in 4th and will graduate from there her 5th grade year so that she too can have a great foundation to start her 6th grade year and beyond. PRINCETON IS THE BEST IN THE WEST !!

We have 2 sons at Princeton and a 3rd on the way in a couple of years and it has been a great experience. Princeton teachers and staff are well organized, instill pride in the students, and work well with parents. Princeton has high PTA membership. The parents who have children at Princeton are very active in the social and academic happenings at school.

Princeton Elementary is a fantastic school. I am glad my wife and I decided to send our daughter there. She transitioned from private school after 3 years to public school with no problem. I have always heard good things about Princeton and now I can speak on the goodness myself. My daughter and wife really like the 1A teacher and when they are happy I have no complaints. Princeton Elementary keep up the outstanding leadership program...it is working. Proud Dad

I have truly enjoyed the continuing education my daughter receives at Princeton. This was our first year at Princeton (2013-2014) we came for a private school, K-3 through kindergarten; however, her transition to public school was smooth. She loves her teacher Mrs. Givens (1A) and so do my husband and I. Our daughter has excelled in all courses and enjoys the educational websites that motivates her to make learning more fun and a little challenging. Daily homework is just enough to where she maintains her other extra activities. Mrs. Ward is a FIRM, ASSERTIVE GENTLE GIANT. I'm glad to know she is more than a principal of a school but she is a lady with excellent leadership skills. As a parent I would recommend advancing your child, allowing them to test into this excellent institution. There will not be a school that is going to grant you and your child everything all at once and parents will not always agree with the educators in the school but if parents are eager to work with these skilled teachers, the PTA and the principal at Princeton at least you can learn how to get a better understand of your child's academic and life goals and how to guide and maintain them. GO PANTHERS!

Princeton is an awesome school. This is my first year with the school but I am very pleased with all the staff at the school. I wouldn't choose any other school for my child to attend.

Princeton Elementary has been the best school for both of my children! I am constantly in awe h\as to how the faculty ensures that my children are prepared for the next grade level. Though Princeton is a relatively small school, our prestige is renown in the Birmingham area. My only desire is that we provide the students with more access to the arts. Currently, we only have an art teacher. We used to have a music teacher, but she is no longer there. I think exposing the children to the arts broadens their horizons, and makes for a more well rounded individual.

I truly love this school! My younger cousins and sisters also attended Princeton and they have become very a good product of Princeton School. This is the school that I would greatly recommend to any parent who wants a great developing and well educated child in the public school system. They are outstanding with the kids and knows every child by name, which shows me the interaction with the child at one point or another. Princeton is the product of EXCELLENCE in every one of their students and they also love their school and the wonderful teachers and principal- Ms. Ward!! Now I have 3 kids that have/had attended Princeton and I really wish they would extend the grade level to the 8th grade.

I love the principles Ms. Ward is instilling in her teachers who in turn instill those same principles into their students.
