Summary:
Bloom Township HSD 206 has two public high schools, Bloom High School and Bloom Trail High School, and both serve grades 9–12. Bloom leads or ties Trail in the latest results, but the state leads both schools in every subject-and-grade comparison. Across all nine results, the schools’ average proficiency is 22%, compared with 47% statewide—a gap of 26 percentage points. The most important takeaway is that both schools have substantial proficiency gaps with the state.
Bloom is the local test-score leader: it leads in eight of nine comparisons and ties Trail in grade 10 ELA, where both score 26%. The gap is widest in grade 9 science: Bloom has 29% proficiency and Trail 22%, a 7-point difference; Bloom also leads by 3 points in grade 9 math. The schools are closer on grade 11 ACT results, including ELA and science, where Bloom’s advantage is about 1 point in each. SchoolDigger also ranks Bloom higher, at 544th of 620 high schools, in the 12th percentile with 1 star; Bloom Trail is 563rd, in the 9th percentile with 0 stars.
Recent results show different trends by subject: average ELA proficiency fell by 4 points at Bloom and 3 at Trail from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while math rose by about 2 points at each; science was nearly flat locally. Other school differences may help families compare: Bloom’s 2025–26 graduation rate was 91%, versus 87% at Trail and 90% statewide, while chronic absenteeism was 48% at Bloom and 46% at Trail, both well above the state’s 24%. In 2024–25, free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 82% at Bloom and 81% at Trail; student-teacher ratios were 18.2:1 and 16.4:1, respectively. SchoolDigger’s ranking pools changed over the three years shown, so those percentile trends are not direct, like-for-like comparisons.
