Troy School District

The Troy School District in Vermont has only one elementary school, Troy School, which is consistently underperforming compared to other Vermont elementary schools. With a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and a ranking of 136 out of 137 Vermont elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, Troy School is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.

Key metrics show significant challenges at Troy School. The school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.9% and test scores that are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 4th grade English Language Arts, Troy School had 27.27% proficiency compared to the state average of 61%. Additionally, Troy School has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 80.51% for the 2024-2025 school year, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.2, Troy School's performance has been consistently poor over the past few years, with its ranking and star rating declining each year. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific challenges faced by the school and its students. Improving academic achievement and providing resources to support the high-poverty student population should be a priority for the Troy School District.
