Summary:
The city of Troy, Kansas is home to two schools - Troy Elementary and Troy High and Middle School, both serving the Troy Public Schools district. While Troy Elementary consistently ranks in the top half of Kansas elementary schools and outperforms the district and state averages in several key test score metrics, Troy High and Middle School has shown improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from the bottom tier to the top half of Kansas high schools in the 2023-2024 school year.
Troy Elementary stands out as the stronger-performing school, with a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger despite its consistent top-half ranking. The school outperforms the district and state in 4th grade English Language Arts, 3rd grade Mathematics, and 5th grade Science proficiency. In contrast, Troy High and Middle School lags behind the district and state averages in most test score metrics, with the exception of 10th grade English Language Arts.
The district-level performance, as indicated by the 2-star rating and middle-of-the-pack ranking, suggests that there may be room for improvement across the Troy Public Schools system. The relatively low free and reduced lunch rates at both schools, compared to state averages, may indicate a relatively affluent student population, which could contribute to the schools' academic performance. Additionally, the higher spending per student at Troy High/Middle School compared to Troy Elementary may be a reflection of the additional resources required to serve a broader grade range.
