Summary:
The Troy Area School District in Pennsylvania is home to two elementary schools: Troy Intrmd School (grades 3-6) and W R Croman Primary School (grades K-2). While both schools face challenges, there are some notable differences in their performance and demographics.
Troy Intrmd School stands out for its strong science proficiency, with 72.3% of students scoring proficient or better, exceeding both the Troy Area School District (67.9%) and the state (65.8%) averages. However, the school's math and English Language Arts proficiency rates are below the state average across all grade levels. In contrast, W R Croman Primary School has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (50.33%) compared to Troy Intrmd School (58.44%).
Overall, the data suggests that the Troy Area School District may be underperforming compared to the state as a whole, with both schools ranking in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools. This raises concerns about potential equity issues, as the higher percentage of free or reduced-price lunch recipients at Troy Intrmd School could indicate that students from lower-income families face greater challenges. Further analysis and targeted strategies would be needed to address these disparities and improve academic outcomes for all students in the district.
