This high school faces significant challenges, with a declining statewide ranking, below-average academic performance, and a high chronic absenteeism rate.

Trenton Central High School - Main Campus has a total enrollment of 2,138 students and a student-teacher ratio of 13.8, suggesting a potentially favorable learning environment.

The school's four-year graduation rate of 91.3% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 1.0% is relatively low.

The data also reveals that the Trenton Public School District, which Trenton Central High School - Main Campus is a part of, is ranked 609 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
