Summary

Trenton High School serves 846 students in grades 9-12 within the Trenton Public Schools district, a well-regarded district ranked in the 73rd percentile statewide.

Trenton High School is a strong academic performer, currently ranked 185th out of 800 Michigan high schools (77th percentile, 4 stars), a significant jump from the previous year. Its graduation rate is exceptionally high at 97.6%, far exceeding the state average of 84%, and its dropout rate is just 1.1%. The school shines in 11th-grade science, where 44.2% of students are proficient—the highest among all nearby traditional high schools and well above the state average. Early literacy is also a strength, with 9th and 10th graders outperforming state averages on PSAT English Language Arts. Compared to its neighbors, Trenton outperforms Roosevelt High School (44th percentile) and Southgate Anderson High School (32nd percentile), while keeping pace with Riverview Community High School (75th percentile) and Grosse Ile High School (83rd percentile). A favorable 13:1 student-teacher ratio—the best among nearby traditional high schools—likely supports this academic success.

While the school excels overall, there are areas for improvement. Math proficiency, while above state averages, is not as dominant as reading and science, with only 27.9% of 11th graders proficient in SAT Math. The school also shows a notable gap in serving certain student groups; Special Education and low-income students rank in the bottom half of Michigan schools, despite strong results for the general population and Hispanic students. Chronic absenteeism sits at 20.9%, higher than the district average of 14.5%, though still lower than most nearby schools. On a positive note, Trenton achieves its strong results efficiently, spending $13,690 per student—less than several lower-performing neighboring schools. With consistent 4-star ratings in 7 of the last 10 years, Trenton High School offers families a stable, high-quality education option in the Downriver area.
