Summary:
Troy, New Hampshire, has one public school: Troy Elementary School, serving approximately 116 students in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade. As a small elementary school in the area, it offers a 9:1 student-teacher ratio, which may support more individual attention, although the ratio does not by itself indicate class size or instructional quality. The school is part of the Monadnock Regional School District, which ranked 144th out of 166 New Hampshire districts and received a one-star rating.
Academic results are mixed, with the strongest performance in fourth- and fifth-grade reading and mathematics. Fourth-grade mathematics was the standout: 67% of students were proficient, compared with 35% in the district and 52% statewide. Fourth-grade reading was also strong at 58%, above both the district’s 41% and the state’s 52%. Overall, the school exceeded the district in mathematics and reading, with proficiency rates of 41% and 46%, respectively. However, both subjects remained below statewide averages of 44% and 55%. Results can vary considerably in a small school because a relatively small number of students can significantly affect grade-level percentages.
The clearest areas for improvement are science and sixth grade. Only 19% of students were proficient in science, compared with 20% in the district and 38% statewide. Sixth-grade mathematics and reading were also comparatively weak, at 27% and 33%, below both district and state results. On the positive side, the school’s statewide percentile ranking improved from the 12th percentile in 2023–24 to the 29th percentile in 2025–26, and mathematics proficiency rose seven points in the most recent year. Parents may want to ask about plans for science instruction, sixth-grade readiness, and how the school is extending the stronger practices seen in fourth and fifth grades across all grades.
