Summary

Troup Elementary in Troup, TX, serves 498 students in grades PK-5 within the Troup Independent School District (Isd), a historically strong 4-star district, but the school has experienced a sharp and concerning decline in its most recent state ranking, dropping from the 73rd percentile (4 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 45th percentile (2 stars) in 2025-2026. This is a significant departure from its decade-long trend of high performance and places it as the lowest-performing PK-5 school in its immediate vicinity, surrounded by top-tier options like Stanton-Smith Elementary (96th percentile) and Gus Winston Cain Elementary (95th percentile) in the Whitehouse Independent School District (Isd).

The school’s test scores reveal significant inconsistency across grade levels and subjects. While 5th graders consistently outperform the state average in Reading—for example, 79.17% proficient in 2024-2025 versus the state’s 57.83%—4th grade Math is a critical weakness, with only 36.14% proficient compared to the state average of 49.28%. This pattern suggests that student success is highly dependent on the specific grade and subject, rather than a school-wide culture of excellence. Additionally, the school’s ability to serve specific student populations is volatile; for instance, English Language Learners jumped from the 2nd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 80th percentile in 2024-2025, indicating either a major programmatic change or data instability.

Despite above-average per-student spending of $10,414 (higher than at high-performing Whitehouse schools like Stanton-Smith at $9,983), the school’s recent decline points to issues beyond funding, such as instructional strategy or curriculum alignment. The 2025-2026 data shows proficiency rates dropping below state averages in 4 out of 6 core subject/grade combinations, signaling a systemic issue that requires immediate intervention. For families considering elementary options, Troup Elementary’s recent struggles contrast sharply with the consistent high performance of nearby schools in the Bullard Independent School District (Isd) and Whitehouse ISD, making it a school to watch closely for signs of recovery.
