Summary:
The city of Troup, Texas, is served by the Troup Independent School District (Isd), which includes three public schools—Troup Elementary (PK-5), Troup Middle (6-8), and Troup High School (9-12)—serving a total of 1,063 students in a community with moderate economic diversity.
Troup High School stands out as the district's strongest performer, boasting a near-perfect 98.8% graduation rate, a 0% dropout rate, and top scores in Biology, English, and U.S. History that significantly exceed state averages. In contrast, Troup Middle shows remarkable improvement, jumping to the 73rd percentile in state rankings, and features an exceptional advanced math program where 100% of 8th graders taking Algebra I were proficient—far above state and district averages. However, the middle school struggles with standard 7th-grade math, where only 21.67% of students are proficient. Troup Elementary provides a solid foundation, outperforming the state in 5th-grade Reading and Science, but lags behind in most other subjects, particularly math, where proficiency rates are 10-13 points below state averages.
A key takeaway is the correlation between resource allocation and performance: Troup High School has the highest per-student spending ($14,145) and lowest student-teacher ratio (10.5:1), while Troup Elementary has the lowest spending ($10,414) and highest ratio (13.2:1), suggesting that increased investment at the elementary level could benefit the entire district. Overall, the district excels in advanced programs and non-math subjects at the high school level, but faces challenges in standard math instruction from elementary through middle school.
