Summary:
The city of Trinity, Texas is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Lansberry Elementary, Trinity High School, and Trinity J H. While the schools face significant academic and socioeconomic challenges, with consistently low performance compared to state averages, there are also some bright spots worth highlighting.
Trinity High School stands out with the highest 4-year graduation rate at 93.4% and relatively strong performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams, particularly in Biology and U.S. History. Additionally, the school has a lower student-teacher ratio of 9.5, which may contribute to its academic success. In contrast, Trinity J H excels in Algebra I, with an 81% proficiency rate on the STAAR exam, but struggles in other subject areas compared to state averages.
Across the district, the data reveals consistently low academic performance, particularly in Reading and Mathematics, with all three schools performing significantly below state averages. This trend is accompanied by high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged student population that may contribute to the academic challenges. While the district's spending per student is higher than the state average, ranging from $11,912 to $13,379, the data suggests a need for a comprehensive review of educational strategies and resources to address the academic and socioeconomic factors impacting student success in the Trinity Independent School District (Isd).
