Summary:
The city of Troy, Texas, is served by the Troy Independent School District (Isd), which includes four public schools—two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school—educating 1,732 students and earning a 3-star rating from the state.
For parents, the standout school is Troy High School, which boasts a 96.5% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, along with strong upward trends in Algebra I and consistent outperformance of state averages in Biology and U.S. History. In contrast, Raymond Mays Middle is a math powerhouse, with 83.87% of its Algebra I students proficient in 2025-2026—far exceeding the state average of 54.03%—though its overall state ranking is volatile, dropping from the 70th to the 44th percentile. Troy Elementary is the improvement leader, with math scores consistently above state averages and a state ranking that has risen for three consecutive years to the 67th percentile. Edna Bigham Mays Elementary serves the youngest students (PK-2) and has the highest rate of economic disadvantage at 57.11%.
Key metrics show the district spends an average of $9,579 per student, with Troy High School spending the most ($11,069) and Troy Elementary the least ($9,004), yet spending does not directly correlate with performance. The student-teacher ratio is a favorable 14.7:1 across all schools. A major takeaway is that reading is a district-wide challenge, with elementary and middle schools frequently falling below state averages, while math is a clear strength, especially through a successful Algebra I pipeline from middle to high school. Additionally, a "middle school slump" is evident, as Raymond Mays Middle shows a significant drop in 6th-grade math proficiency (33.33%) compared to Troy Elementary's 5th-grade math (63.33%), highlighting a challenging transition period for students.
