Troy High School Reviews
Rating 4.08 out of 5 980 reviews
When I first enrolled at Troy High School, I was both excited and nervous. I had heard that the school was renowned for its challenging curriculum and high academic standards. Over the years, I experienced both the highs and lows of attending a rigorous high school.
The best part is the college readiness. The teachers really go the extra mile to make sure that you are ready, even if your grades may drop. Help is always there if you're looking for it. Counselors, teachers, peers, clubs, these connections can be made if you're proactive. Occasionally, you may get a bad teacher but the networking options are plentiful. The facilities are innately slightly worse when compared to other schools, mainly because of the small size of the campus. Ever since the school received funding for food, the quality has drastically improved, for both lunch and break. However, if you're late to the cafeteria, sometimes the old cafeteria food will be served instead. Restrooms are almost guaranteed to be destroyed, except for the athletic ones. Athletic attention is mostly funneled towards football, soccer, and basketball. This means weight room is almost exclusively reserved for them, even if they are not in season. However, the community in athletics is supportive.
The school environment at Troy is academically competitive in all subjects. I feel like the school stresses a lot about getting good grades it can be difficult for students to prioritize their mental health and enjoy high school. Troy High School is known to be a magnet high school, attracting many students from all areas to go to a competitive high school, hoping to attend a good, reputable university. Many students who go to Troy believe attending this high school will increase their chances of getting into an Ivy League or renowned private university. However, this is not the case, as most of the students I know went to either a state school or community college. I think that the school pressures the students to have good grades and the stressful school environment can be seen to affect both the student and teacher bodies. One thing that I would like to see change is to prioritize the mental health of students and change the school environment to supportive, rather than competitive.
