Summary:
The Tri-County School Corporation operates two elementary schools in the area - Tri-County Intermediate School and Tri-County Primary School. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 6th grade and are part of a relatively high-performing school district in Indiana.
Tri-County Intermediate School stands out for its stronger academic performance, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade ILEARN math and ELA, where it outperforms the state average. However, the school's 5th and 6th grade performance lags behind the state. Tri-County Primary School serves a more economically disadvantaged student population, with a higher percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients. This school also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate, which could impact student learning and outcomes.
While the Tri-County School Corporation is highly ranked overall, there are some areas for improvement across the two elementary schools. Tri-County Intermediate School's lower student-teacher ratio may contribute to better individualized attention, but the district should investigate the drivers behind the spending difference between the two schools and work to address the academic performance gaps, particularly in the upper elementary grades. Additionally, the lack of historical data for Tri-County Primary School makes it difficult to fully evaluate and compare the schools, underscoring the need for more comprehensive data reporting.
