Trenton High School

Summary:

Trenton Senior High is a public high school in Trenton, Missouri, serving 326 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Trenton R-Ix District, which is ranked 178 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

While Trenton Senior High has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance lags behind nearby schools like Chillicothe High. Trenton's proficiency rates in subjects like Algebra I are significantly lower than the state average and Chillicothe's. Additionally, Trenton Senior High serves a higher percentage of students from low-income families, with 39-55% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 37% at Chillicothe High. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, indicating inconsistent performance.

Another notable difference is Trenton Senior High's student population, which is significantly more homogeneous in terms of race, with 94% of students identifying as white, compared to the more diverse surrounding schools like Chillicothe High. This lack of diversity may have implications for the school's culture and curriculum. Overall, the analysis suggests that Trenton Senior High faces challenges in academic achievement, socioeconomic factors, and diversity that the school and district should address to improve outcomes for students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
