Summary

Troy Middle School is a public middle school located in Plainfield, Illinois, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 878 students. The school is part of the Troy CCSD 30C district, which is ranked 308 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Troy Middle School consistently performs above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency rates across grades 7-8. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate for all grades was 67.6%, compared to the state average of 53.1%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate was 34.8%, compared to the state average of 38.5%. The school's performance in ELA and Mathematics has been relatively stable over the past few years, with some fluctuations in the proficiency rates. Additionally, Troy Middle School performs particularly well in certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, who rank in the top 25% of Illinois middle schools in their respective categories.

However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 14.4% in the 2023-2024 school year to 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year. This trend warrants further investigation and intervention. Compared to nearby schools, such as Minooka Intermediate School and the Joliet-based Dirksen Junior High School and Hufford Junior High School, Troy Middle School outperforms these schools in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates. Overall, Troy Middle School appears to be a strong-performing school, but the increase in chronic absenteeism and the mixed performance for some subgroups suggest areas for improvement and further investigation.
