Troy Buchanan High

Summary:

Troy Buchanan High is a public high school serving 2,188 students in grades 9-12 in Troy, Missouri, which is part of the Troy R-III school district. While the school has a higher percentage of white students compared to nearby schools, it faces several challenges, including lower test scores, a higher percentage of students from low-income families, and declining performance relative to other Missouri high schools.

Troy Buchanan High's test scores are generally lower than the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in Algebra I, only 20.5% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 41.5%. The school also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (25.87%) compared to the nearby schools, which range from 9.95% to 40.86%. Additionally, Troy Buchanan High's spending per student ($11,099 in 2021-2022) is lower than the nearby schools, which range from $10,354 to $12,145 per student.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Liberty High School, Timberland High, and North Point High School, consistently outperform Troy Buchanan High across various metrics, including test scores, free/reduced lunch rates, and statewide rankings. The school's declining performance, with its ranking dropping from 84 out of 358 schools in 2020-2021 to 141 out of 352 schools in 2022-2023, suggests that addressing these challenges and learning from the success of nearby high-performing schools could help Troy Buchanan High improve its educational outcomes.

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.
