Summary:
Trenton Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one middle school, Trenton Middle, which serves students in grades 5-8. The school has faced some challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 937 out of 2,361 Texas middle schools in 2023-2024 to 1,758 out of 2,344 in 2024-2025, and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Trenton Middle's performance on STAAR tests is generally below the state averages, particularly in mathematics, where the percentage of students proficient or better is significantly lower than the Texas average across all grade levels. In reading, the school's performance is closer to the state average, with 8th-grade students performing slightly better than the Texas average. The school has a relatively small student population of 205 students, with a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (43.41%), indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Trenton Middle's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $8,863, which is below the state average. This may limit the school's ability to provide necessary resources and support for students. The school's student-teacher ratio of 17.8 is slightly higher than the state average, which could also impact the quality of instruction and support available to students.
