In zip code 75789, there is one middle school, Troup Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 in the Troup, Texas area as part of the Troup Independent School District (Isd).
Troup Middle is a standout school with a strong upward trajectory, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 73rd percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year. The school has shown impressive improvement, jumping 13 percentile points in its state ranking over two years. Its most exceptional feature is the Algebra I program, where 100% of 8th-grade students taking the exam were proficient in 2024-2025, more than double the state average. The school also boasts a 0% dropout rate and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.2:1, suggesting smaller class sizes and a supportive environment. Reading scores are on a strong upward trend, with 6th and 8th grades significantly outperforming state averages.
However, the data reveals a critical challenge: a sharp drop in math proficiency between 6th and 7th grade. In the 2025-2026 school year, 6th-grade math proficiency was 56.76% (well above the state average of 38.57%), but 7th-grade math plummeted to 21.67% (below the state average of 29.41%). This "7th grade math slump" is a consistent pattern and represents the school's most pressing academic need. In contrast, the advanced math program for 8th graders is world-class, highlighting a stark difference between support for the highest-achieving students and those at the standard grade level. Overall, Troup Middle is a school with clear strengths in reading and advanced math, but with a specific area requiring focused intervention in 7th-grade mathematics.
