What stands out about Troy R-iii

  • Enrolment grew 11.6% here, from 6,249 students in FY2019 to 6,974 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
