Triton School Corporation

The Triton School Corporation consists of two schools: Triton Elementary School and Triton Junior-Senior High School. While the high school is a standout performer, ranking in the top 20% of Indiana high schools, the elementary school appears to be struggling to keep up with district and state averages on academic assessments.

Triton Junior-Senior High School is the clear standout, maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years and boasting a 100% four-year graduation rate. The school outperforms the district and state on key ILEARN and SAT metrics, particularly in English Language Arts. In contrast, Triton Elementary School has a 3-star rating and its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, with proficiency rates below the district and state averages.

The data also reveals potential equity concerns, as Triton Elementary School has a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch compared to the high school. Additionally, both schools face attendance challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at the high school level. The funding allocation, with the high school spending significantly more per student than the elementary school, may also need to be re-evaluated to ensure equitable support for all students in the Triton School Corporation.
