Troy Online Academy, Troy OH - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Troy Online Academy

Troy Online Academy serves students in grades kindergarten through twelve from Troy City School District in Troy, Ohio. The school operates as a public online learning option within the district, using remote or hybrid instruction rather than traditional brick-and-mortar classroom settings.

The most recent available state testing data comes from spring 2022 and covers a small number of students across several grade levels. Results are uneven. In third-grade math, about half the tested students reached proficiency. Fourth grade performed better, with most students proficient in math and a majority in English language arts. Fifth grade showed a split picture: nearly all students passed science, but none passed math that year, though most passed reading. Eighth grade had full proficiency in English and science but lower results in math, though participation rates at that level were partial, suggesting not all enrolled eighth-graders took the tests.

The school's overall proficiency index across tested grades and subjects falls below the midpoint compared to other districts in Miami County, according to the most recent comparison data available. A parent may want to look into how the school supports students in math, where the pattern of results is weaker and more inconsistent than in reading or science.

Enrollment data reported zero students, which typically indicates a reporting gap for online schools—the actual enrollment is not zero, but the school may report enrollment differently or the data may reflect a specific snapshot. State assessment participation shows that at least some students are enrolled and tested. Information on the school's staffing, special-education services, English learner support, and free-or-reduced-price meal eligibility was not available.

Troy City School District is currently undergoing major change. In November 2023, voters approved a bond and levy to build four new school buildings, replacing seven older buildings. Two new elementary buildings are scheduled to open in January 2027, with two more buildings and high school improvements finishing the following summer. At the same time, in May 2026, voters rejected the renewal of the district's operating levy, which funds salaries, special education, supplies, and equipment. That rejection creates ongoing budget uncertainty that could affect staffing and programs across the district in coming years.

Troy itself is a small city north of Dayton with a walkable downtown anchored by the Public Square and the Miami County Courthouse. Historic housing stock near downtown mixes with newer subdivisions on the city's edges. Major employers are concentrated in manufacturing, aerospace, and food processing. The housing market is moderately priced compared to national averages, and the area is growing slowly.

An online school can be a fit for families seeking flexible scheduling, credit recovery, or a learning environment outside the traditional classroom. Before enrolling, a parent should ask the school directly about course offerings, teacher credentials, synchronous versus asynchronous instruction, technical support, and how it handles hands-on subjects like science and physical education. The modest math proficiency results and small student population suggest understanding the specific supports available is especially important.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
