Summary:
The city of La Crosse, Indiana has only one school, Tri-Township Junior-Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. This small school of 154 students faces some academic and socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by its declining statewide ranking and uneven test scores, particularly in math proficiency.
Tri-Township Junior-Senior High School has a graduation rate of 92.5%, which is above the state average, but a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 17.3%. Academically, the school's English Language Arts proficiency is close to the state average, but its math proficiency lags behind, with only 21.67% of students proficient across all grades. The school also has a high percentage of students (48.05%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating socioeconomic challenges that may impact student learning.
Despite these challenges, Tri-Township Junior-Senior High School's small size of 9 students per teacher may provide some advantages in terms of personalized attention. However, the school's declining statewide ranking, from 130 out of 409 Indiana high schools in 2021-2022 to 300 out of 431 in 2023-2024, suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and improvements to address its academic and socioeconomic issues and better support its students' success.
