Troup Independent School District (Isd)

The Troup Independent School District (Isd) is a small, unified district in Texas serving approximately 1,063 students across three schools: Troup Elementary (PK-5), Troup Middle (6-8), and Troup High School (9-12). The district holds a solid 4-star rating, ranking in the 70th percentile statewide.

Troup High School is the district's standout, boasting a 98.8% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate. It consistently exceeds state averages in subjects like Biology, English I & II Reading, and U.S. History. Troup Middle is an "Algebra I accelerator," with 100% of its 8th graders passing the Algebra I End-of-Course exam in a recent year, far outpacing state averages. Troup Elementary shows a bright spot in its 5th grade, which outperforms the state in Reading, Math, and Science, though its overall state ranking has declined.

A key district-wide challenge is a "math gap." While advanced math (Algebra I) thrives at the middle school, standard grade-level math is a weakness, particularly in 4th grade, 7th grade, and high school Algebra I. This suggests a bifurcated math experience, where advanced students excel while others struggle. The high school spends the most per student ($14,145) and has the best student-teacher ratio (10.5:1), correlating with its strong outcomes, while the elementary school spends the least ($10,414) and has the highest ratio (13.2:1), potentially contributing to its declining trend.
