Summary:
The Troy Area School District in Pennsylvania operates 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 1 junior/senior high school. While the district invests heavily in its schools, with per-student spending well above the state average, the academic performance of these schools is a significant concern, with consistently low proficiency rates on state assessments, particularly in math.
The Troy Area Junior/Senior High School has seen a dramatic decline in its statewide ranking and rating in recent years, dropping from the top third of Pennsylvania high schools to the bottom quarter. In contrast, the district's two elementary schools, Troy Intrmd School and W R Croman Primary School, have consistently low rankings and ratings, with proficiency rates well below state averages.
The high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, especially at the elementary level, suggest that the Troy Area School District serves a population facing significant economic challenges. This may require the district to allocate additional resources and support to address the needs of these students and improve academic outcomes across all grade levels.
