Trenton Public Schools


Summary:

Trenton Public Schools is a small school district in Maine, consisting of only one school - Trenton Elementary School. This public school serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 140 students, the majority of whom (95%) are white. While the school previously performed well, ranking in the top 20% of Maine elementary schools, its performance has declined significantly in recent years, dropping to a 2-star rating and ranking 166th out of 290 elementary schools in the state.

Trenton Elementary School faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.6% and a relatively high percentage of students (30.71%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population with lower socioeconomic status. These factors may be contributing to the school's declining performance and the need for targeted interventions to address the issues and improve the overall quality of education for the students.

Despite the school's current struggles, it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.6, suggesting that students may have access to more individualized attention and support. However, the data highlights the need for Trenton Public Schools to focus on addressing chronic absenteeism, supporting students from lower-income families, and implementing strategies to boost the school's academic performance and state-wide ranking to ensure that all students in the district receive a high-quality education.
