Princeton ISD

What Princeton ISD does

Princeton Independent School District (Princeton ISD) is a public K-12 school district headquartered in Princeton, Texas, serving approximately 11,787 students across 15 campuses within a 60-square-mile service area in Collin County. For 2024-25, the district reported a 98% graduation rate, 93.1% average daily attendance, a Texas Education Agency "B" accountability rating, and a "FIRST A" financial integrity rating, while serving a student body that is 62.14% economically disadvantaged, 22.13% emergent bilingual, and 15.01% special education. The senior leadership team is led by Superintendent Donald McIntyre and includes a deputy superintendent and multiple assistant superintendents overseeing instruction, operations, and student services.

The district's operating technology stack consists of standard K-12 administrative and communications platforms rather than proprietary product: Infinite Campus for student information, Rank One for athletics, HomeTown Ticketing for event admissions, Constant Contact for mass communications, Finalsite for web content, and Google Translate for multilingual outreach. The district does not maintain disclosed proprietary software, AI systems, or technology products, and no AI/ML capabilities are referenced in available materials.

Princeton ISD's revenue model is the standard Texas public school finance structure, not a commercial sales motion. Total operating revenue for 2024-25 is $118,891,489, with the funding mix composed of 66.4% state aid, 30.4% local maintenance and operations property taxes, 2.5% other local sources, and 0.6% federal sources. Capital expansion is funded separately through voter-approved general obligation bonds, most notably a $797 million package approved in May 2023 to finance eight new campuses over a 10-year horizon. Student enrollment is projected to grow from 7,812 to 19,574 students by 2034, and the district maintains operational partnerships with Baylor Scott & White, Peak Physical Therapy, Collin College, and the University Interscholastic League (UIL) to deliver health, athletic, dual-credit, and extracurricular programming.
