Troy High School has had fluctuating academic performance, ranking as high as 33rd out of 124 high schools in 2022-2023 but then dropping to 101st out of 182 high schools in 2024-2025. Its proficiency rates on standardized tests like the ACT and Montana State Tests are generally below the state average, ranging from 16.67% to 58.33% across different subjects and years. However, the school has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to the state average, with a 100% free and reduced lunch rate in the last three school years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among its student population.

Interestingly, Libby High School, located about 15.7 miles from Troy High School, has generally outperformed Troy High School in academic measures, such as ACT proficiency rates. However, Libby High School also has a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending, which may impact the quality of education it can provide. To address its challenges, Troy High School may benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices, resource allocation, and support services for economically disadvantaged students, in collaboration with the district and community stakeholders.
