Summary

Troy College and Career High School (TCCHS) is a small, alternative public school in Troy, MI, serving 188 students in grades 6 through 12 as part of the highly-ranked Troy School District.

TCCHS is designed for students who thrive in a smaller, more supportive environment than a traditional large high school. The school is on a strong upward trajectory. Its graduation rate has climbed dramatically from 47.4% in 2020-2021 to an impressive 91.2% in 2024-2025, now exceeding the state average. State test scores have also improved significantly, with recent cohorts meeting or exceeding state averages in reading and science. The school is particularly effective with male students and those from low socio-economic backgrounds, earning top ratings for its work with these groups. This is notable because TCCHS serves a much higher percentage of students from economically disadvantaged homes (nearly 39% qualify for free/reduced lunch) compared to nearby Troy High School (9.7%) or Athens High School (16.4%).

While the school shows clear strengths, two challenges remain. Mathematics proficiency is a significant concern, with only 23.7% of 11th graders proficient in SAT math compared to 57.9% in reading and writing. Chronic absenteeism, at 37.2%, is also much higher than the district average of 13.0%, though it has improved substantially in recent years. When compared to similar alternative schools in the region, such as Warren Consolidated Community High School (64.9% graduation rate) or Churchill Community Educational Center (47.6% graduation rate), TCCHS is a clear outperformer. With a low student-teacher ratio of 11.8, the school offers a personalized environment that is successfully helping at-risk students graduate and prepare for their next steps.

For my daughter, this school is academic nirvana! Close Quote

This will be my second year there and honestly if it wasn't for this school I probably would have dropped out. Just the short time I have been there I saw so many people grow in all aspects. This school helps for people like myself. They have a great staff and they know how to help their students grow one on one even if they struggle a little on the way. Every teacher has shown how much they care for every single student who attends that school, anyone who would go there is lucky in my opinion. Its not easy by any means but you have to be willing to work and show yourself and those around you that the hard and fast paced work will pay off. This school is honestly so great and no one in my opinion should try to brush it off without giving it a better look. Close Quote
