Wayne Sieloff, of the Trenton Board of Education, said he was disappointed only 63 percent of Trenton students were able to answer what he considered to be an easy math question. What do you think?
You don't get to be the editor of Trenton Patch by majoring in Math. The subject is the bane of my existence and I fear it on a regular basis, but I'm not a Trenton High School student. Sophomores at the high school scored just one point higher than the national average on the 2012 PLAN test, a precursor to the ACT, and board of education member Wayne Sieloff said he was disappointed with the results. On the Michigan Merit Exam, Trenton juniors scored below the state average in math and science. Sieloff expressed his unhappiness with the test scores that were presented to the board of education at Monday's regularly scheduled meeting. During the presentation a math question found on the test was reviewed. Sieloff said he was disappointed …

All Trenton schools, however, do well on state grading system, scoring either an 'A' or a 'B.'
Trenton High School did not meet the requirements of the federal No Child Left Behind Act, according to statistics released Monday morning by the Michigan Department of Education. Though nearly the entire school met federal requirements, one subgroup did not. Students are characterized into many subgroups, which allows officials to determine what segment of the student population is struggling. At the high school, for instance, students with disabilities were the subgroup that did not meet federal standards. All of the other subgroups at Trenton Public Schools met the required Adequate Yearly Progress or AYP, but if one subgroup does not make AYP then the entire school fails to meet AYP. Schools are judged on how well students perform on …

The district's writing curriculum is changing after 11th-grade students showed little improvement in the subject.
The results for the Michigan Merit Exam were released on June 28 and were presented to board members at Monday’s Trenton Public Schools Board of Education meeting. Board members said they were pleased with the overall results except for writing. The number of proficient 11th-grade students at Trenton High School jumped from 2010 to 2011 in most subjects.
