TriTownship School has seen fluctuating performance in recent years. Its 4-year graduation rate has ranged from 81.7% to 95.8%, generally higher than the state average of around 80-85%. However, its dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 8.1%, are higher than the state average of 5-6%. The school also faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, with rates between 11.7% and 30.8%, significantly higher than the state average of 15-20%. Academically, TriTownship School's test scores on the M-Step and PSAT assessments are generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in math and science, but they perform better than the state average in English Language Arts.
When compared to nearby alternative schools, such as Big Bay De Noc School, Learning Center, and Mid Peninsula School, TriTownship School generally performs better in terms of graduation rates, dropout rates, and test scores, particularly in English Language Arts. However, it has higher chronic absenteeism rates and a higher percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage. Despite the higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, TriTownship School's academic performance, particularly in math and science, is still lagging behind the state and district averages, suggesting that the additional resources may not be effectively translating into improved student outcomes.
