Summary:
The city of Troy, Pennsylvania, is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools and 1 junior/senior high school. The schools in this area face significant challenges, with declining academic performance and state rankings across the board.
The Troy Area Junior/Senior High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 90.5%, but its academic performance on standardized tests is concerning, with low proficiency rates in math, science, and Algebra I compared to state averages. In contrast, the Troy Intrmd School elementary school struggles with low proficiency rates in math and English language arts, though it performs better in 4th-grade science. Both schools have seen declines in their state rankings in recent years.
Across the Troy Area School District, the student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This may be a contributing factor to the low academic performance observed, and the schools may need to implement targeted strategies to support these high-need students. Overall, the data suggests that the Troy area schools face significant challenges in improving student outcomes and will require a concerted effort to address the underlying issues.
