Process of assigning student to each school
Students are assigned to schools by grade level according to the district attendance boundaries. Students residing in the district may request open enrollment in a school other than the one to which they are assigned during the Open Enrollment period. Open enrollment is approved on the basis of staffing and capacity in the building. High School students needing an alternative setting to the traditional classroom environment are identified and assigned to Niles High School through the District’s intervention model for struggling high school students.
Core Curriculum Implementation
The Troy School District continues to implement a comprehensive curriculum for all students. The curriculum is based on and aligns with the state’s Michigan Merit Curriculum, High School Content Expectations, Grade Level Content Expectations, and the Common Core State Standards.
The Board of Education recognizes that a student’s education is a responsibility shared by the school and family during the entire period the student attends school. Over the years, research has proven that there is a direct relationship between parent involvement and student achievement. To support the goal of the school district to help all students succeed, schools and parents must work together as active partners.

Locally administered assessments
Our locally administered assessments are part of a balanced assessment system that uses the results from both summative and formative assessments to monitor learning and to adjust instruction. Our teachers develop their own range of formative and summative assessments to monitor, grade, and make inferences about a student’s ability to meet standards and curriculum goals. Teachers use data they collect from students to plan instruction and to direct re-teaching.
More than 95 percent of Troy School District graduates go on to higher education and are accepted at the finest schools in the U.S.A. Students earn millions of dollars in college scholarships annually. Recruiters have also reported that Troy School District is one of the top feeder districts to the University of Michigan and Michigan State University.
Our high school graduates achieve top scores in every major assessment area, including Michigan Education Assessment Program (MEAP), SAT and ACT. For more information, please see the complete AER report.
