Summary:
The Troy School District in Vermont has only one school, Troy School, which serves elementary students. The school faces significant challenges, including a high poverty rate, low academic performance, and a lack of diversity among its student population.
With a student body that is 92.51% white and 75.4% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Troy School serves a predominantly low-income population. This high poverty rate can have a substantial impact on educational outcomes. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on state assessments are consistently lower than the Vermont state averages, and its statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 97th out of 113 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 137th out of 148 in 2020-2021.
The lack of diversity at Troy School may also limit the educational experiences and perspectives available to students. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address these challenges and improve outcomes for the students at Troy School. While the data highlights the need for improvement, the school's small size and focus on serving its local community could also be leveraged as strengths in developing strategies to support student success.
