District-Level NCES Analysis

Troy School District operates 21 public schools serving 12,461 students, placing it in the mid-size range in Michigan. The school portfolio breaks down into 10 elementary, 4 middle, 4 other, 3 high schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 11,596 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Oakland County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,444 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 39.2% local, 52.2% state, and 8.6% 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 $80,152 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 46/100, ranked #435 of 756 in Michigan against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 3 of 21 schools offering Advanced Placement (55 AP courses district-wide), a 303.6:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 24.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 45.9% White, 35.8% Asian, 6.7% African American across the district's schools.

Troy High School accounts for 17.5% of all Troy School District student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Troy School District-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 School District school enrollment varies 88× across entities

Troy School District school enrollment ranges from 23 students (lowest) to 2,032 students (highest), a spread of 2,009 students.

Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.

Troy School District student-counselor ratio is 304:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment — districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Troy School District is typically wider than the Troy School District-aggregate figure suggests.

Troy School District chronic absenteeism rate is 24.1% — 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 School District is typically wider than the Troy School District-aggregate figure suggests.
