Trinity High School

Summary:

Trinity High School is a public high school serving 657 students in grades 9-12 in Trinity, North Carolina, which is part of the Randolph County School System. While the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (67.58%) compared to nearby schools like Lucy Ragsdale High (26.45% white) and T Wingate Andrews High (10.04% white), its academic performance has been declining over the years.

Trinity High School's end-of-course (EOC) test scores are consistently below the state and district averages, and its statewide ranking has dropped from 173 out of 476 North Carolina high schools in 2016-2017 to 401 out of 640 in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's performance is particularly concerning for Asian, African American, Hispanic, and Gifted and Talented student subgroups, which rank in the bottom quartile or bottom half of North Carolina high schools. However, the school does perform relatively well for English Language Learners and Special Education students, suggesting that there may be effective strategies in place that could be replicated to improve overall academic achievement.

When compared to nearby schools, Trinity High School generally underperforms. For example, Wheatmore High School, which is also in the Randolph County School System, outperforms Trinity High School on most academic metrics. Similarly, schools in the Guilford County Schools district, such as Lucy Ragsdale High and T Wingate Andrews High, have higher academic achievement and rankings than Trinity High School. These comparisons suggest that Trinity High School faces significant challenges that need to be addressed to improve student outcomes.

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.
