While Troy Heritage Trail School has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its student performance is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in 3rd-grade English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics.

In contrast, the school's performance for its White student population is relatively low, ranking in the bottom 795 out of 1,392 Illinois elementary schools.

Another area of concern for Troy Heritage Trail School is its rising chronic absenteeism rates, which have increased from 11.9% in the 2019-2020 school year to 28.7% in the 2021-2022 school year, notably higher than the district and state averages. When compared to other schools in the Troy CCSD 30C district, Troy Heritage Trail School generally performs lower than Troy Hofer Elementary and Troy Shorewood School, which have higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
