TRENTON MIDDLE SCHOOL

TRENTON MIDDLE is a Title I public middle school that is part of the TRENTON ISD school district, located in TRENTON, TX with about 190 students offering grade levels from 5th Grade to 8th 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 11 teachers, TRENTON MIDDLE has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.

TRENTON MIDDLE School is a public school located in Trenton, Texas, serving as a core component of the Trenton Independent School District (ISD).
