Troy Middle

Summary:

Troy Middle is a public middle school located in Troy, Missouri, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 761 students. The school is part of the Troy R-III School District, which is ranked 141 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Troy Middle has seen some strengths, such as consistently high proficiency rates in Algebra I, the school also faces challenges in areas like chronic absenteeism and equity. The school's chronic absenteeism rates have risen significantly, from 19.2% in 2021-2022 to 28.8% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Troy South Middle (24.2%) and Ft. Zumwalt North Middle (17.6%). Additionally, Troy Middle's test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) have been mixed, with 6th and 8th-grade Math scores lagging behind the state average, while 7th-grade Math scores have been consistently above the state average.

Regarding equity, Troy Middle has seen varying performance among different student subgroups. Hispanic students and students with disabilities have struggled, ranking in the bottom quartile of Missouri middle schools in recent years. In contrast, the school's performance for White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds has been closer to the state average. To address these challenges, Troy Middle may need to focus more on providing targeted support for these underperforming subgroups and learning from the practices of higher-performing nearby schools, such as Ft. Zumwalt North Middle and the Wentzville R-IV schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
