Summary:
The Troup Independent School District (Isd) is home to a single high school, Troup High School, which serves grades 9 through 12 with a total enrollment of 311 students. This small, rural district in Texas offers a tight-knit educational environment, reflected in a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.5:1 and a near-perfect graduation rate of 98.8% with a 0.0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year. Nearly half of the student body (48.23%) is economically disadvantaged, yet the school maintains strong overall academic performance, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 70th percentile statewide.
Troup High School excels in several core subjects, consistently outperforming state averages in Biology (82.89% proficient vs. 70.51% state), U.S. History (80% vs. 70.17% state), and both English I and II Reading (61.73% and 70.67% respectively). However, a significant weakness emerges in Algebra I, where only 31.15% of students are proficient—nearly 23 percentage points below the state average of 54.03%. This stark contrast between strong performance in science and history versus a critical math deficiency is the school's most pressing academic challenge, suggesting a need for targeted intervention in foundational math skills.
Despite strong test scores in most areas, the school's state ranking has declined from the 86th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 70th percentile in 2025-2026, indicating that other schools across Texas are improving at a faster pace. An interesting data anomaly exists in the 2025-2026 Algebra I scores: the district reports a proficiency rate of 46.67%, which is higher than the school's 31.15% rate. Since Troup High School is the only high school in the district, this discrepancy likely stems from a data reporting error or the inclusion of middle school students taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam. Overall, the school provides a supportive, small-school environment with excellent graduation outcomes, but must address its math performance to reverse its declining state ranking.
