Summary:
The Troy Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two elementary schools: Edna Bigham Mays Elementary and Troy Elementary. While both schools serve a diverse student population, they exhibit some notable differences in their demographics, academic performance, and resource allocation.
Edna Bigham Mays Elementary serves a higher percentage of minority students, with 34.44% Hispanic and 0.71% African American enrollment, and a larger proportion of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 62.71%. The school also spends slightly more per student at $9,148 compared to Troy Elementary's $9,004 per student. In contrast, Troy Elementary has a higher percentage of white students at 54.89% and outperforms the district and state averages on STAAR reading and math assessments, particularly in 5th grade.
Overall, the data suggests that while both elementary schools within the Troy ISD have their own unique characteristics, Troy Elementary appears to be the stronger-performing school academically. However, the district should continue to monitor and address any disparities in student outcomes and resource allocation to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
