Summary:
The city of Straughn, Indiana is home to two schools: Tri Junior-Senior High School and Tri Elementary School. These schools serve students from the South Henry School Corp district, with the high school educating 438 students in grades 7-12 and the elementary school teaching 315 students in grades K-6.
A key standout for Tri Junior-Senior High School is its very high graduation rate of 98.3%, which is significantly above the state average. In contrast, the school's academic performance in English Language Arts and Math lags behind state proficiency levels across most grade levels. Tri Elementary School, on the other hand, outperforms the district and state in math proficiency, with 43.71% of students proficient or better in ILEARN math. However, the elementary school underperforms in English Language Arts compared to state averages.
Both schools serve a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 48.4% for the high school and 55.24% for the elementary school. This indicates a low-income student population, which could present challenges but also opportunities for targeted support and resources. Additionally, the high school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 13.6% compared to the elementary school's 9.8%, suggesting the need to investigate factors contributing to higher absenteeism at the secondary level.
