Summary:
There is one middle school, Troup Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 in the Troup Independent School District (Isd), with 254 students and a moderate level of economic diversity as 52.36% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
Troup Middle has shown consistent improvement in its state ranking, rising from the 60th percentile (3 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 73rd percentile (4 stars) for 2025-2026, placing it 625th out of 2,335 Texas middle schools. The school boasts a low student-teacher ratio of 12.2:1, suggesting smaller class sizes, and a 0.0% dropout rate. Per-student spending is $11,201, slightly below the state average. The standout metric is its advanced math program: in 2024-2025, 100% of 8th graders taking Algebra I were proficient, dramatically outperforming the state average of 47.01%. Reading is also a consistent strength, with 6th and 8th-grade proficiency in 2025-2026 (63.01% and 70.45%) significantly outpacing state averages (53.52% and 58.69%).
However, there are notable areas of concern. The school shows a stark contrast in math performance: while advanced math excels, standard math scores for grades 6-8 are often below state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 16.07% of 7th graders were proficient in math versus 31.12% statewide, and a "7th grade slump" is evident with consistently low scores in that grade. Social studies is an emerging strength, with 8th-grade scores projected to surpass the state average in 2025-2026. The improvement in overall ranking despite some low test scores suggests the school's strong performance in reading and advanced math is driving its upward trajectory, rather than uniform improvement across all subjects.
