Summary:
The city of Wolcott, Indiana is home to two schools, Tri-County Junior/Senior High School and Tri-County Intermediate School, both part of the Tri-County School Corporation. These schools serve students from grades 3 through 12, providing a comprehensive educational experience in this small Indiana community.
Tri-County Junior/Senior High School stands out for its consistently high graduation rate, reaching 96.1% in the 2022-2023 school year, and strong performance on ILEARN English Language Arts assessments, with 50.96% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to the district average of 41.5%. The school also maintains a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 17.9% in 2022-2023. In contrast, Tri-County Intermediate School impresses with its ILEARN Math performance, with 48.56% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to the district average of 45.09%, and a low chronic absenteeism rate of 12.9% in 2022-2023.
While both schools have a predominantly White student population, with Tri-County Junior/Senior High School at 84.8% and Tri-County Intermediate School at 86.78%, they also serve a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, around 40% at each school. This suggests a need to address socioeconomic disparities and ensure equitable access to educational resources. Additionally, both schools have seen a decline in ILEARN proficiency rates from 2022-2023 to 2023-2024, mirroring a statewide trend that warrants further investigation.
