Summary:
The Tri-County Area School District in Wisconsin has only one middle school, Tri-County Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin middle schools, with below-average performance on the state's standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas.
Tri-County Middle has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 66.92% in the 2022-2023 school year, suggesting that the school may be serving a socioeconomically disadvantaged population. Despite the relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic outcomes have not improved, indicating that there may be underlying issues with resource allocation and equity that need to be addressed.
Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.1%, which could be a contributing factor to the low academic performance, as regular attendance is crucial for student learning and achievement. Overall, the data suggests that Tri-County Middle is a struggling school that is performing well below the state average on academic measures, and the district may need to implement targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
