Summary:
The Troy Independent School District (Isd) is home to a single middle school, Raymond Mays Middle, which serves 408 students in grades 6 through 8 and is located in a community where 52.7% of students are economically disadvantaged.
Raymond Mays Middle presents a mixed picture of performance. The school's standout strength is its Algebra I program, where an exceptional 93.33% of students were proficient in the 2024-2025 school year—nearly double the state average. However, this success contrasts sharply with struggles in other areas. The school's state ranking is projected to drop significantly from the 70th percentile (4 stars) in 2024-2025 to the 44th percentile (2 stars) in 2025-2026, driven by a broad decline in proficiency across most subjects. For example, 8th-grade math proficiency is projected to fall from 54.73% to 43.98%, and 8th-grade social studies remains a persistent weakness at just 21.38%.
Key areas of concern include 7th-grade math, where only 22.37% of students are projected to be proficient in 2025-2026, making it the most challenging subject at the school. Overall, the school performs below state averages in reading, math, and social studies for most grade levels. The school maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 14.4 and a 0.0% dropout rate. While the advanced math program is a clear asset, the projected downturn suggests that the school's general instruction needs improvement to support all students effectively.
