High Schools in Troy City

The Troy City area of Alabama has only one high school, Charles Henderson High School, which serves grades 9-12 and has an enrollment of 515 students. The school's academic performance has been a concern, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 132nd out of 371 high schools in 2022-2023 to 235th out of 367 in 2021-2022, suggesting a potential decline. Additionally, Charles Henderson High School's test scores are consistently lower than the Troy City district and the state of Alabama averages across all subject areas, indicating significant achievement gaps.

The school's demographic makeup is 60.78% African American, 30.68% White, 3.88% Hispanic, and 2.33% Asian, with a relatively high percentage of students (55.92%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a population with a high level of economic disadvantage. This factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges and should be considered in any efforts to improve student outcomes.

The school's per-student spending of $9,746 and a student-to-teacher ratio of 17.1 to 1 (slightly higher than the state average) may suggest potential resource allocation issues that could be impacting the school's ability to provide a high-quality education. Addressing these concerns, along with the declining academic performance and achievement gaps, will be crucial for improving educational outcomes for the students in this community.
