District-Level NCES Analysis

TROY ISD operates 5 public schools serving 1,690 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 high, 1 other, 1 middle, 1 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 1,733 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Bell County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,238 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 35.5% local, 56.8% state, and 7.7% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $66,359 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 25/100, ranked #959 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), and 16.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 58.1% White, 35.1% Hispanic or Latino, 1.6% African American across the district's schools.

Troy H S accounts for 29.0% of all TROY ISD student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — 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 school enrollment varies 502× across entities

TROY ISD school enrollment ranges from 1 students (lowest) to 502 students (highest), a spread of 501 students. That ratio is among the widest observed and reflects extreme enrollment heterogeneity — the district operates both small specialty programs and large comprehensive campuses inside a single budgeting unit. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.

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.
