Summary:
The 16947 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools (Troy Intrmd School and W R Croman Primary School) and 1 junior/senior high school (Troy Area Junior/Senior High School). While the schools serve a predominantly white student population, they face challenges in academic performance, with most students scoring below state averages on standardized tests, particularly in math and Algebra I.
Troy Area Junior/Senior High School stands out as the largest school in the area, with 641 students, but has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 246th in 2018-2019 to 514th in 2022-2023. Despite a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 90.5%, the school's academic performance is a concern, with students scoring below state averages in most PSSA and Keystone Exam subjects.
In contrast, Troy Intrmd School has shown some strengths, particularly in science proficiency, where 80.6% of students scored proficient or better, well above the district and state averages. However, the school's overall statewide ranking is low, placing 1151st out of 1534 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2022-2023. The high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 44.77% to 58.44%, indicate that the schools in the 16947 zip code serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by the schools in the Troy Area School District.
