District-Level NCES Analysis

Troy Isd operates 5 public schools serving 1,690 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 high, 1 combined, 1 middle, 1 elementary schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Bell County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $9,863 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 121 of 1202 Texas districts by per-pupil spending. See how Texas compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 35.5% local, 56.8% state, and 7.7% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 24/100, ranked #928 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.

Troy H S accounts for 29.0% of all Troy Isd student enrollment

That dominant concentration means Troy Isd-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

Troy Isd chronic absenteeism rate is 16.8% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Troy Isd is typically wider than the Troy Isd-aggregate figure suggests.
