HIB Grade

In compliance with the state HIB law, public schools are required to complete a self-evaluation, rating the performance in implementing all aspects of the HIB regulation.  Princeton Charter School conducted this self-assessment  for the 2021-2022 school year which was then reported to the state.   In addition, the state requires all schools to post the “HIB grade,” our self-assessment score, on the school website.

Our self-assessment  resulted  in an overall score of 71 out of a possible 78.  Our self-assessment reflects a commitment on our part to consistently hold ourselves to high standards when it comes not only to the education of our students but also to their social and emotional well-being. We use this self-evaluation to guide our planning and to make changes each year to improve our students’ experiences in this important area.
