Summary:

Troy Intrmd School is an elementary school located in Troy, Pennsylvania, serving grades 3-6 with a total enrollment of 462 students. The school is part of the Troy Area School District, which is ranked 417 out of 610 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Troy Intrmd School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a ranking between 854 and 1151 out of 1,500+ schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) tests is below the state average across all grades and subjects, particularly in Math, where proficiency rates range from 18.5% (5th grade) to 44.8% (3rd grade) in 2023-2024, well below the state averages. In contrast, the school performs better in PSSA Science, with 72.3% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, exceeding the state average of 65.8%. The school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 58.44% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Towanda Area Elementary School, which is part of a neighboring district, Troy Intrmd School has significantly lower PSSA Math and English Language Arts proficiency rates across all grades. The nearby schools also have a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, suggesting that factors beyond just student demographics may be contributing to the academic performance differences. Despite spending more per student ($15,190 in 2021-2022) and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.6 in 2022-2023, Troy Intrmd School's performance has remained stagnant over the past several years, indicating that the school's challenges may require more targeted interventions to drive meaningful improvements.

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.
