Summary:
In zip code 75490, there is one elementary school, Trenton Elementary, serving students from Pre-Kindergarten through 4th grade with a total enrollment of 276 students in the Trenton, Texas area.
Trenton Elementary is part of the Trenton Independent School District (Isd), which holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 62nd percentile among Texas districts. The school itself has maintained a consistent 3-star state rating over the past three school years, with its percentile ranking fluctuating only slightly between the 52nd and 55th percentile. A notable strength is its low student-teacher ratio of 11.5:1, which suggests smaller class sizes and potential for individualized attention. However, the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 59.78% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
The most significant finding is a clear performance gap between grade levels. In the most recent school year, 3rd graders outperformed the state average in both Reading (55.17% vs. 51.08%) and Math (46.55% vs. 44.33%), showing year-over-year improvement. In contrast, 4th graders fell below state averages in both Reading (44% vs. 53.04%) and Math (42% vs. 49.28%), and their scores declined from the previous year. This pattern suggests a potential "4th grade slump" that warrants investigation, as the school's low student-teacher ratio has not yet translated into consistently strong academic results across all grade levels.
