Troy Independent School District (Isd)

The Troy Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates four schools: two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. The district is ranked 268 out of 961 districts in Texas and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating above-average performance.

Among the standout schools in the district, Raymond Mays Middle School ranks in the top 30% of Texas middle schools and outperforms the district and state averages in several STAAR test subjects, including 8th grade Math, Reading, and Science. The school also boasts an impressive 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I End-of-Course exams, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Meanwhile, Troy High School maintains a high 4-year graduation rate of 98.2% and a low dropout rate of 0.1%, while also performing well above the district and state averages in several STAAR End-of-Course exams.

Despite the strong performance of these schools, the district faces some socioeconomic challenges, with relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across the schools, ranging from 41.85% at Troy High School to 61.43% at Edna Bigham Mays Elementary. The district's resource allocation, with higher per-student funding at the high school level compared to the elementary and middle schools, may indicate a focus on supporting the academic and extracurricular needs of older students, but it would be important to further analyze how the district's resources are distributed to address the specific needs of each school and its student population.
