If you like one on one interactions with teachers, Princeville is an amazing school. However, being a small school has its downfalls. For one, the classes aren’t weighted. Also, we don’t have any advanced placement classes at our school and only offer one language. Princeville is a very friendly community and focus on academics.

It had a family feel. The classes were great, and i feel they worked hard to get us all ready for college. Our school has an open concept and was built back in the 70's. The school is in a circle and the classrooms walls were actually just like dividers. It was thought with the open concept kids could learn better. I'm not sure if it was ever proven to be helpful or hurtful, but going there all 4 years it was normal to me. Our school is for a small district and even though it is small it offers sports. With this being said, the students have the option to play and no try outs are necessary. I am grateful for Peoria Heights and what the school has given me for my future....
