I am an ex-student of the Troy School. I graduated 8th grade in 2010. When I left, the school was still in chaos from the principal situation. I have 2 younger brothers in the school and I'm glad to say that the school is definately getting its act together. The new prinipal is doing a great job in my opinion. My brothers seem to be doing well also, which is good. I just think the school is headed in the right direction now. I'm doing a project on the community right now and I'm thrilled to see the improvement in the statistics for the school. love, lizziy
