I went to this whole from 9th grade till the end of my high school career the only reason I didn't give the school 5 stars is because nothing is perfect.I believe that everyone has there own particular things that they need in a school to "fit in" .Troy Prep is a wonderful school they have amazing teachers and strong goals.Also the school has a strong set of rules and standards for each student as a individual person .The schools support system is amazing they will help any kid through any situation. They are designed to fit any situation without making anyone feel judges or misunderstood.While this school isn't a great fir for all kids I do believe that this is a amazing school and everyone should give it a try.They show the students to not judge others based on there appearance but on there morals .They also support all kinds of people regrade less of there color race religion or age.This school has been a pleasure to attend and I would recommend to others .

The school could be great. It has quality, dedicated educators, a small but we'll maintained building, plenty of supplies, great field trips, and so on. Unfortunately, this is all undermined by a hyper focus on discipline to the detriment of student engagement. Discipline is a good thing, but studen...
