Best Public Schools in Troy, ME

Summary:

The city of Troy, Maine has only one school, Troy Central School, which serves elementary students. This small, rural school is part of the Regional School Unit 03/Maine School Admin District 03. While the school has faced fluctuations in academic performance, with a significant drop in its statewide ranking in recent years, it maintains a relatively high student-teacher ratio compared to other schools in the district.

Troy Central School has a student population of just 55 students, the majority of whom (94.55%) identify as white. The school faces challenges related to chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 15.3%, and a high percentage (54.55%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic needs among the student body. These factors may be contributing to the school's declining academic performance, which has fallen from a 4-star rating and a ranking of 66 out of 258 Maine elementary schools in 2018-2019 to a 0-star rating and a ranking of 273 out of 290 in the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite the small size of Troy Central School, it offers a student-teacher ratio of 8.7, which is the second-best among the 5 elementary schools in the Regional School Unit 03/Maine School Admin District 03. This suggests that the school may be able to provide more personalized attention to its students, which could be a strength in addressing the challenges it faces. However, the small size of the school may also limit the resources and extracurricular opportunities available to students, which could be an area for improvement.
