Summer programs show higher-than-expected enrollment; credit recovery returns dozens of students to on-track status
Summary
District officials reported strong summer enrollment across elementary, middle and high school programs and said 51 high-school students have completed necessary credit recovery and are back on track for graduation, with another ~50 partially recovered.
At its June 25, 2025 meeting, the Trotwood-Madison City Schools administration reported higher-than-expected participation in summer programs and early signs of progress in high-school credit recovery.
Superintendent Mister Howard told the board that expected kindergarten–fifth-grade enrollment of 60 has grown to more than 100 students in the summer program, and high school summer programming expected 125 students has 127 enrolled. The district’s Graduation Alliance Summer Credit Recovery Program has seven active students and five pending, and the superintendent said 51 high-school summer participants “have made up all of the necessary credit recovery courses and are back on track for graduation,” with an additional 50 students having recovered at least a half credit so far.
Administrators credited the focus on ninth- and tenth-grade interventions and targeted work with seniors who were close to meeting graduation requirements. The district highlighted its partnership with Champions for elementary summer programming at Westbrook; Champions provides staffing and programming and the district noted interactive activities, field trips and instructional work intended to reduce “summer slide.”
Board members praised staff for enrollment and early results. The high-school principal, Mister McCray, was specifically thanked for targeting students behind on credits; administrators said the emphasis was on getting ninth- and tenth-graders and seniors back on pace.
District staff also shared a summer calendar of events including Professional Learning Communities training for district administrators (July 28–29 in Indianapolis), new staff orientation (July 30–31), a back-to-school bash (scheduled 11 a.m.–2 p.m. at the high school), convocation (Aug. 5) and the first day of classes on Aug. 11. Administrators said community resource tables, guidance counselors and other supports would be available at the back-to-school event.
The board asked for follow-up numbers on preschool open-house registrations and the superintendent said staff would provide updated registration figures and additional program metrics at a future meeting.
