Against the state, however, results were mixed: Math was 45.0% vs. 44.9%, Science was exactly 25.5% vs. 25.5%, and Reading was 47.3% vs. 48.6%. The clearest bright spot is 6th grade, where Math proficiency was 54.5% vs. the state’s 39.5% and Reading was 56.8% vs. 53.4%, making it the only grade level above the state average in both subjects.

Year over year, Reading and Science each improved by about 4.2 points, while Math declined by about 3.0 points.

That leaves it below its 2023–2024 position even after a 43-position improvement from the prior year. The school’s all-grade scores beat the district’s in every subject, yet the school ranks in the 48th percentile with 2 stars while the district ranks in the 54th percentile with 3 stars. With 36.5% free/reduced lunch and a 13.6 student-teacher ratio, Trimont Elementary appears to be a small, modest-class-size school that is generally at or near state averages, with 6th grade as its standout cohort and Reading and earlier-grade Math as areas to watch.
