GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Very diverse school and was chosen due to the fact. Definitely a poorer demographic so there were lots of different kinds of experiences at school.

Troy High school is a good place to send your child. It's safe, diverse, and has great teachers. One thing about it, though, is it's very, VERY cliquey. There's almost a hierarchy between jock and not jock. I would recommend sending your child here, but make sure they're involved in a sport.

The school is very diverse. There are many opportunities to participate in good sports teams or clubs. Even though it is an inner-city school the overall feel is pretty peaceful. There are many college level and Advanced Placement classes offered. The teachers are generally friendly and are mostly good at their jobs every once in a while there will be a lousy teacher that is bad at their job but overall they are decent.
