This school is a great school if you want to be in clubs and afterschool programs. The academics can be hard at times but that is a good thing. I am in 7th grade at this school and i love. The school lunches could be alot better and they should have activity buses that run after school for the afterschool programs but besides that this is a great school

I am a graduate of TMS and I loved all three years I was there. We've had our rough times with almost not passing a referendum, but we pulled through it and came out of it stronger then ever.The teachers help us learn while we have some fun at the same time. The building is a nice facility and we all take pride in our school. Having the occasional pep rally gets us pumped for an event. The sports teams are all amazing, having experienced going down state all three years I was there. The only thing I would change at Troy is the cafeteria food which was pretty gross. All together, I miss the experience I had there, and I would love to go back again.

I am a 8th grade at Troy Middle School and the school is great. We have really good sports teams we go to state for pretty much every sport we have every year! The teachers are great they are so nice. We have student council and they pretty much get the school to let us have some fun they make days like crazy hair day or twin day its a blast.

I am a 7th grade student at TMS and I love it! The teachers are kind and answer evryones' questions. When you are respectful, responsible, or peaceful you get a troy ticket which you can use to buy things at the troy store in the cafeteria. There are 2 computer labs, 4 mobile labs(carrying lap- tops) and delicious school lunches. Phys. Ed is not co-ed. Everyone has main lockers and p.e lockers!

I'm a student at this school. I like it but, I have to say that I don't think that you never get to see the principal. It seems to me that noe of the vice principals ,Mrs.Renna(I think you spell it that way), does more work and takes more of a leadership role. Well... thats it.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Illinois used the Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and in grades 4 and 7 in science. The ISAT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Illinois. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
