Summary

Troup Middle in Troup, TX, serves 254 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Troup Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 70th percentile statewide.

Troup Middle is a school of notable contrasts. Its biggest strength is in advanced math: an exceptional 79.31% of students scored proficient in Algebra I, far exceeding the state average of 54.03% and matching top performers like Bullard Middle and Whitehouse J H. However, the school struggles significantly with grade-level math, with only 21.67% of 7th graders proficient—well below the state average. Reading performance is generally strong, though 7th-grade reading (52.38%) dips below the state average. The school has a low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.2:1, offering a more personalized environment than many neighbors, including Hubbard Middle (16.5:1).

One of the most compelling stories is the dramatic turnaround for Special Education students, who jumped from the 13th percentile statewide in 2023-2024 to the 71st percentile in 2025-2026. This suggests a highly effective recent intervention. Overall, Troup Middle ranks in the 73rd percentile (4 stars) for 2025-2026, a significant improvement from the low 60s in prior years. Compared to nearby Arp J H, Troup is a clear outperformer, with a 73rd percentile ranking versus Arp's 28th. The school’s success hinges on replicating the strategies that have worked for its advanced math and Special Education cohorts across the entire student body.
