Over the past decade, Trap Hill has climbed from the 42nd percentile to the 88th percentile in statewide rankings, earning a 4-star rating. What truly sets this school apart is its exceptional work with students who face economic challenges. In 2025-2026, Trap Hill ranked 7th out of 155 schools statewide for its performance with low socio-economic status students—a 95th percentile ranking with a 5-star rating.
