Summary:

The 51559 zip code is home to a single high school, Tri-Center High School, which serves students in grades 9-12 within the Tri-Center Community School District. This high-performing institution stands out for its strong academic achievements, high graduation rates, and reasonable student-teacher ratio.

Tri-Center High School consistently outperforms the state average on the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) in several subject areas and grade levels, including 10th grade English Language Arts, 11th grade English Language Arts, 11th grade Mathematics, and 10th grade Science. The school's graduation rate of 88.3% for the 2023-2024 school year is also a notable strength, indicating that the school is effectively supporting students and helping them achieve their educational goals.

While the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% is slightly higher than the state's desired target of 10% or less, the school's per-student spending of $14,772 for the 2018-2019 school year is above the state average, which may contribute to the school's strong academic performance and student outcomes. Additionally, the school serves a moderately economically diverse student population, with 30.09% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.
