Troy High School is a combined public and magnet school located in Fullerton, California, USA, well-known for its Troy Tech and International Baccalaureate programs. As of the 2003-2004 school year, the average SAT score of its students was 1258, which places it at number 3 among nearly 2,000 peer public high schools in the state, according to the California Department of Education.
Academics: Troy was one of 27 high schools nationwide honored as a New American High School by former U.S. President Bill Clinton in 2000. It has won first place in the U.S. National Science Olympiad in 1996, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2006 and has also placed favorably in many other competitions on both the regional and national level, including the American Computer Science League (1st in the nation, 5th overall in 2005). Troy's NJROTC Academic Team was also ranked #1 in all of Area 11, which is composed of Southern California and Arizona, and also in the top few percent of schools in a nation-wide competition (the SecNav Postal). Troy�s Science Bowl Team has placed first and second for four years in the Western Regional Science Bowl sponsored by NASA/JPL and the U.S. Department of Energy. In 2001, the team captured the national second place at the U.S. Dept. of Energy Competition in Washington, D.C. A number of Troy Tech and International Baccalaureate students have received nationally recognized honors, by competing and often placing highly in the prestigious Siemens Westinghouse Competition in Math, Science, and Technology and the Intel Science Talent Search. Troy is also noted as a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence as well as a California Distinguished School.
In both 2005 and 2006, Troy was recognized by the College Board as the top performing "large-size" school in the world on the AP Computer Science examinations. It was also ranked 46th in the annual Newsweek survey of American high schools in 2006, 21st in the same survey in 2005, and 96th in 2003.
Troy Tech Magnet Program: Troy High School is well-known for its magnet program created in 1986. Students are admitted into the program by an admissions test that takes place around late-December. People who are in the magnet program attend more advanced courses than regular students living in the attendance area, usually with a very rigorous schedule of all honor classes. More than half of the student population is in Troy Tech. Students who live as far as an hour's drive away from the school attend because of the program. During the summer before their senior year, students must go through an internship program in order to graduate.
Athletics: In addition to its academic reputation, Troy is a leader in sports. The Girl's Basketball Team won the state CIF Division II Title in 2003, 2005, and 2006, and has held the CIF Southern Section Division II Title for the past several years. Sports Illustrated ranked the team the #4 program in the country for 2006 and the Los Angeles Times ranked Troy the #5 program in all of Southern California for the second year in a row. Furthermore, Troy has the top Girl's and Boy's Tennis Teams in CIF Southern Section in Division II. The Girl's Team won the CIF Southern Section DII Title in 2001, 2004, and 2005 and have been in the finals every year since 1998. In addition, the Boy's Tennis Team won the CIF Southern Section DII Title in 2004, 2005 and 2006 and holds several other titles. Many of Troy's other sports programs have found success on the league level and several have advanced far into CIF Southern Section Tournament brackets. Despite the fact that Troy's badminton team was undefeated in league in the 2005-2006 school year, the sport has been cancelled.
