Summary:
The Troy City School District in New York contains one middle school, Troy Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has some positive metrics, its overall academic performance on state assessments is below the district and state averages, suggesting a need for improvement.
Troy Middle School's proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments are generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's highest proficiency rate is in 8th grade Math at 50.21%, which is still below the state average of 46.74%. The school's lowest proficiency rates are in 7th grade ELA (26.89%) and 8th grade Science (35.78%), both of which are significantly below the state averages. Additionally, the school is ranked 1117 out of 1500 New York middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $32,890, which is significantly higher than the state average, and a low student-teacher ratio of 8.9, the inconsistent academic performance suggests that the allocation of resources may not be optimized to drive student achievement. The school also faces challenges related to socioeconomic factors, with a high percentage of students (72.67%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
