Summary:

The Tri-County Community School District in Iowa operates two schools: Tri-County Elementary School and Tri-County Junior/Senior High School. While the elementary school has stronger academic performance, the district as a whole is ranked 234 out of 313 districts in Iowa and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement.

Tri-County Junior/Senior High School has a higher state-wide ranking compared to Tri-County Elementary School, ranking 266 out of 340 Iowa high schools for the 2024-2025 school year, while the elementary school ranks 472 out of 576 Iowa elementary schools. Additionally, the junior/senior high school has a higher 4-year graduation rate at 88.3% for the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% for both schools.

However, Tri-County Elementary School has stronger test scores, with 70% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA and Math in 2024-2025, compared to more mixed results at the junior/senior high school level. The significant difference in per-student spending between the elementary and junior/senior high schools ($10,514 vs. $22,435) is also noteworthy and warrants further analysis to understand how these funds are being allocated and whether they are being used effectively to support student outcomes.
