Troy High School

Summary:

Troy High School is a public high school serving 487 students in grades 9-12 in Troy, Texas, which is part of the Troy Independent School District. The school has maintained high academic performance, with consistently strong graduation rates and low dropout rates compared to state averages.

Troy High School stands out for its high percentage of White students (61.6%) compared to nearby schools, as well as its exceptional performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams, particularly in subjects like Biology, English I Reading, English II Reading, and U.S. History. The school also ranks highly (top 150 out of 1,182 Texas high schools) in the performance of its gifted and talented student population. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, and there are some racial disparities in student achievement that the school may need to address.

When compared to nearby high schools like Belton High School and Lorena High, Troy High School generally performs better on STAAR exams, but it lags behind some of the higher-performing schools in certain subject areas. Additionally, the school's relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (40.66%) suggests that it serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may impact academic performance.

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.

Open Quote My son has been in this school since the 5th grade. He was really struggling when we got to Troy barely passing. He is now a senior and is ranked in the top 10% of his class. Close Quote

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.
