Additionally, Troy Central School has a high percentage of students (54.55%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

However, the school's inconsistent performance and the socioeconomic challenges faced by its student population suggest the need for further investigation and targeted support to ensure the success of all students at Troy Central School.
