Middle Schools in Tri-Center Community School District

The Tri-Center Community School District in Iowa is home to a single middle school, Tri-Center Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has demonstrated relatively strong academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science consistently above the state averages, particularly in 8th grade.

Tri-Center Middle School's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% is lower than the state average, indicating better student attendance. Additionally, the school serves a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 30% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to the state average. However, the school's overall ranking, which places it between 168th and 191st out of 334-344 Iowa middle schools in the past three school years, suggests there may be room for improvement in ensuring equitable outcomes for all students.

Despite its solid academic performance, Tri-Center Middle School has a 3-star rating out of 5, indicating that there are opportunities for the school to further enhance its effectiveness. The school's student-teacher ratio of 20.2 is slightly higher than the state average, which may be a factor to consider. Overall, Tri-Center Middle School appears to be a strong performer in the region, but there are areas where the school could potentially improve to better serve its students and the community.
