Troy School District
About Us
A small urban school district with approximately 4,300 students, we have programs housed in nine buildings. Troy has achieved remarkable progress in recent years. Our school improvement efforts have not only raised expectations, but also resulted in measurable changes across the district. The district's public schools continue to serve as a vital part of the city of Troy's revitalization. Troy is one of the largest school districts in the Capital Region. The personalized nature of being a small city school district empowers students to excel in an environment that encourages and supports lifelong learning. The school district has recently instituted a number of policies to elevate academic achievement.
Troy is a school district rated in good standing according to the State Education Department and No Child Left Behind (NCLB). School 12 is a School in Need of Improvement (Year 1) for English Language Arts; Doyle Middle School is a School in Restructuring (Year 2) for English Language Arts and Troy High School is a School Requiring Academic Progress (Year 3) for Mathematics. The district is committed to teaching a curriculum that ensures all students meet the state learning standards. Each school provides a broad array of educational experiences and extracurricular opportunities that challenge students to achieve their maximum potential.
The district offers a full-day kindergarten program, computers in the classroom and after-school programs. The school district is also planning to adopt a magnet school program for its elementary and secondary schools. Each school established building-level committees to explore the feasibility of magnet schools. Troy's teaching staff works hard everyday to make a difference in the lives of students. Numerous district programs support learning and instruction, including: Extended School Day after-school programs, summer programs, reading tutorials and partnerships with RPI, Union College, Troy Family YMCA, Commission on Economic Opportunity (CEO) and others. Each school boasts an active parent-teacher organization with a demonstrated record of success. The district's athletic teams compete in the Big 10 Conference.
