<ol>
<li>Troy High School (53) (8%)</li>
</ol>

<p>Troy high was in decline years ago and then they split the school into essentially 2 schools…a regular high and “Troy Tech” (a magnet school) which allowed “out of area” kids to go there because it began offering a Science & Technology education.</p>
