Trenton High School

Summary:

Trenton High School is a public high school in Trenton, Florida, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 715 students. The school is part of the Gilchrist School District, which is ranked 5th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Trenton High School has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

Trenton High School stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the Gilchrist district and the state of Florida in standardized test scores, including a 66% proficiency rate in Algebra 1 EOC, compared to 60% in the Gilchrist district and 55% statewide. The school also boasts a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 83.8% to 90.6% over the past five years, which is higher than the state average. However, the school has experienced fluctuations in chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 48.0% in 2020-2021, which is an area that the school may need to address.

While Trenton High School outperforms the Gilchrist district and the state in many metrics, it has a significantly higher percentage of white students (74.97%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, such as Dixie County High School and Bronson Middle/High School. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 37.69% to 47.83% over the past three years, which may indicate a need for additional support and resources to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
