Summary:
The three public schools in zip code 75789, serving grades PK-12 within the Troup Independent School District (Isd), offer a mixed but compelling picture for parents, with a total enrollment of 1,063 students and a district ranked in the 70th percentile statewide.
Troup High School is the standout performer, earning 4-star ratings and reaching the 86th percentile in recent years. It boasts an exceptional 98.8% graduation rate with a 0.0% dropout rate, and excels in science and history, with 82.89% proficiency in Biology and 80% in U.S. History. However, its Algebra I scores are a significant weakness at 31.15% proficient. In contrast, Troup Middle shows a fascinating split: its standard math scores are poor, especially in 7th grade (21.67% proficient), yet its advanced Algebra I program is exceptional, with 100% of test-takers proficient in a recent year. Troup Elementary builds a strong foundation in reading, with 5th graders scoring 63.41% proficient, above the state average, though math remains a consistent challenge across all elementary grades.
A key takeaway is the district's clear strength in reading and humanities, with all three schools outperforming state averages in subjects like English and history. However, a concerning trend is the declining state ranking percentiles for both the elementary and high schools over the past three years, with Troup Elementary dropping from the 73rd to the 45th percentile. Despite this, favorable student-teacher ratios (ranging from 10.5:1 to 13.2:1) and higher spending per student at the high school ($14,145) suggest a supportive learning environment. The district's high graduation rate and low dropout rate are powerful indicators of overall student engagement and success.
