Troy City School District

Summary:

The Troy City School District in New York serves students from 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district faces a range of challenges, from equity gaps in academic performance to high levels of economic disadvantage among its student population.

Two elementary schools, Ps 18 and Ps 16, stand out as the highest-performing in the district, with strong proficiency rates on state assessments and high rankings from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Ps 2 and Carroll Hill School struggle with lower academic performance. The district's only high school, Troy High School, has a graduation rate above the district and state averages, but also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism and declining proficiency rates, particularly in English Language Arts.

Across the district, there are significant disparities in per-student spending, ranging from $27,163 at Ps 14 to $39,489 at Ps 2. This variation in resources raises questions about equity and whether funding is being directed to the schools and students with the greatest needs. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve outcomes for all students in the Troy City School District.
