Summary:
The city of Troy, Kansas is home to two public schools - Troy Elementary and Troy High and Middle School, which are part of the Troy Public Schools district. While Troy Elementary is a standout performer, the high school appears to be underperforming compared to state averages.
Troy Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state on test scores across English Language Arts, Math, and Science, and ranks in the top third of Kansas elementary schools.
