Summary:
The Troy Independent School District (Isd) serves approximately 1,732 students across four schools in Troy, Texas, including two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school, and is rated as a solid, above-average district in the 60th percentile statewide.
For parents, the standout school is Troy High School, which is the district's flagship with a strong 96.5% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, consistently performing above state averages in Biology and English II. In contrast, Raymond Mays Middle is the most volatile school, having dropped from a 4-star to a 2-star rating due to a significant decline in 6th-grade Reading and Math scores, though it boasts an exceptional advanced math program where 8th graders achieve 83.87% proficiency in Algebra I—far exceeding the state average. The elementary schools show a clear strength in math, with Troy Elementary (grades 3-5) outperforming the state in 3rd and 5th-grade math, while Edna Bigham Mays Elementary (PK-2) has no test score data available but serves the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Key takeaways include a "two-tier" math system where advanced middle school students excel in Algebra I, but the general high school population struggles with it (39.2% proficiency vs. 54% state average). There is also a clear "middle school slump" as students transition from strong elementary math performance to weaker 6th-grade scores, and the district shows year-over-year volatility in test scores, suggesting a need for more consistent instructional strategies across all grade levels.
