DAYLIGHT/TWILIGHT HIGH SCHOOL

Daylight/Twilight High School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Trenton Public School District school district, located in TRENTON, NJ with about 345 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 38 teachers, Daylight/Twilight High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Daylight/Twilight High School, located on Edgewood Avenue in Trenton, New Jersey, is a unique alternative education program designed to provide flexible learning opportunities for students who may not thrive in a traditional high school environment. By offering both "Daylight" (daytime) and "Twilight" (evening) sessions, the school accommodates the diverse needs of students, including those who must balance their education with employment, family responsibilities, or other personal commitments. This flexibility is core to the school’s mission of ensuring that all students, regardless of their circumstances, have a viable path toward earning a high school diploma.

The school focuses on credit recovery and personalized instruction, creating a supportive atmosphere for students who have fallen behind in their original academic tracks. By utilizing a non-traditional scheduling model, Daylight/Twilight High School serves as a critical resource within the Trenton Public Schools district, aiming to reduce dropout rates and provide a second chance for academic success. Through this specialized approach, the institution fosters an inclusive environment that prioritizes graduation and prepares students for post-secondary opportunities or entry into the workforce.
