Troy El, Troy TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Troy El

Troy Elementary serves grades three through five in a small rural school in Bell County. The school enrolls a diverse student body in roughly equal proportions of White and Hispanic students, with a significant share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The enrollment is small enough that grade-level class sizes remain manageable.

The school's academic performance shows strengths in math, where about two-thirds of third graders meet or exceed state proficiency standards. Reading performance is more mixed. Third-grade reading is solid at just over half of students proficient, but performance drops notably by grade four, where about four in ten students meet the standard, before recovering somewhat in grade five to about half. Science results are the softest area: only about a quarter of fifth graders meet proficiency on the state science assessment. Across all subjects, the school sees most students at least approaching grade-level standards, though the proportion reaching the "meets" level sits below half.

Among the eleven school districts in Bell County, Troy Elementary's overall proficiency index places it above the midpoint. This positioning reflects particular strength in math but reflects the reading and science gaps as well.

The town of Troy is a small, rural community. Housing values in the zip code are below state and national medians, and housing remains relatively affordable by national standards. The local economic context shows steady unemployment and mortgage rates typical of early 2026, with median household income above the national median.

Staffing data, attendance and discipline records, English learner counts, and special education enrollment figures were not available in the data provided. A parent considering this school may want to ask the district directly about class sizes by grade, the availability of intervention support for students below grade level in reading and science, and how the school approaches math instruction given its comparative strength in that subject.

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.
