Standout schools reveal distinct strengths. Troy High School is a consistent performer with a 0.0% dropout rate and a 96.5% graduation rate, excelling in Biology (74.6% proficiency) and U.S. History. Raymond Mays Middle is a math powerhouse, with an extraordinary 93.33% of its Algebra I test-takers proficient in 2024-2025, a 46-point advantage over the state average. Troy Elementary (grades 3-5) shows dramatic math growth, outperforming the state in every grade level tested, such as 5th Grade Math at 63.33% versus the state's 47.38%. In contrast, Edna Bigham Mays Elementary (PK-2) serves the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students (57.11%) but lacks test score data for comparison.
Key metrics show consistent student-teacher ratios (14.3:1 to 15.7:1) and lower-than-average per-student spending ($9,004 to $11,069). An interesting finding is the "Algebra I Anomaly": while the middle school excels in Algebra I, only 39.2% of high school test-takers were proficient, suggesting different student cohorts. Social Studies is a district-wide weakness, with 8th Grade proficiency at 21.38% versus the state average. Additionally, Troy High School's state ranking has declined from the 67th to the 56th percentile over three years, correlating with drops in Algebra I and English I Reading scores, signaling a need to review core instruction at the high school level.
