Summary:
The Troy School District in Vermont has only one elementary school, Troy School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 195 students. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom tier of Vermont elementary schools, with a ranking of 136 out of 137 schools in the 2024-2025 school year and a low SchoolDigger rating of 0 out of 5 stars.
Troy School faces significant challenges, including a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.9% and low proficiency rates on standardized tests, with scores well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 4th grade English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rate was 27.27% compared to the state average of 61%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 80.51% in the 2024-2025 school year, indicating a predominantly low-income student population.
The data on Troy School suggests that the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and address the complex challenges facing the school community. The persistent low performance, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic challenges indicate a need for a comprehensive approach to address the root causes of the school's struggles and provide the necessary resources and support to help its students succeed.
