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.

It is really good and could use more money for more extracurriculars to help incentivize students to do more things in addition to classes at school and regular team sports, like more computer and information technology, which is always a real help with everyone, and like basic finances.

I went to Troy high school for my entire high school years. High school is really a change of life your going through so many different transitions while in high school. You may have a break up or lose a friend. You could hurt yourself during practice and have to miss a few games. I think the experience as i went through and grew up was a good 1. From starting 9th grade being afraid because the school is much bigger than middle school to having a little bit of friends to 12 grade being popular enough that I won prom queen. Some subjects are harder than others but you can always get a tutor. You learn so much about ppl because it's different race and different cultures and personalities everyday. High school is really what you make it some of your most memorable moments will happen during these 4 years

I am an RPI student that has had experience, although limited, with Troy High as a volunteer tutor and from organizing some educational/college prep programs for students. From my limited time there it seemed apparent that the administrative staff do not believe in their students' potential. They id...
