Summary:
ZIP code 83871 contains a single elementary school: Troy Elementary School in Troy, Idaho, which serves grades PK–6 as part of the Troy School District and enrolls 185 students. Because it is the only elementary school in the area, all local attention is concentrated on this one campus — and the data show a school performing well above state norms.
Troy Elementary is a standout performer academically. In 2025–2026, 84.6% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared with the state average of 54.0%, while math proficiency reached 69.2% versus 43.1% statewide. Across both subjects, the school beat Idaho averages by 26 to 31 percentage points, placing it in the 89th percentile of elementary schools statewide (ranked 37th of 346). Its district, Troy School District, is ranked 6th of 101 Idaho districts with a 5-star rating. Grade-level data for 2025–2026 show 4th-grade math at 73.1%, 6th-grade math at 52.0%, and 3rd-grade ELA at 83.3% — all above state averages, though 6th-grade math stands out as a relative weak spot worth monitoring.
The school's trajectory is equally noteworthy. From 2012–2013 to 2025–2026, Troy Elementary climbed from a 46th-percentile ranking (191st of 357) to the 89th percentile — a dramatic long-term improvement. Chronic absenteeism sits at just 6.8%, half the state rate of 13.8%, and about one-third of students (33.51%) qualify for free/reduced-price lunch. One area worth watching is math, which dropped from 82.7% to 69.2% proficiency between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, a decline mirrored district-wide and not unique to this school. Meanwhile, ELA proficiency surged 13 points, pushing the school back above its district average. With low absenteeism, steady attendance, and significant academic gains, Troy Elementary remains a high-achieving choice for families in the 83871 area.
