Tri-Point High School has experienced fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 132 out of 699 Illinois high schools in 2022-2023 (rated 4 stars) to a low of 451 out of 699 in 2021-2022 (rated 2 stars). Its current ranking for the 2024-2025 school year is 353 out of 698 Illinois high schools, with a 2-star rating. While the school has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 87.7% to 92.3% over the past few years, it has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 38.8% in recent years, which is significantly above the state average.

We moved away from this school 4+ years ago. It has a history of poor administration and poor academics. We have a son who is quite bright, we tried to get him some advanced classes or advanced placement. No luck...seems these little schools are so busy with "no child left behind" they are putting all their time and money into helping keep the problem kids caught up with the rest of the classes. There is ZERO time, money, interest for the bright kids.
I spoke with the principal and superintendent about some advanced placement...He said there was no way we could skip grades or get advanced classes BUT they would give him "more responsibilities"
The responsibilities turned out to be letting him change the words on the signs outside and walking the troubled kids to class...You know, the ones who can't be trusted to roam the halls on their own! Exactly the kids you DON'T want your kid around!!
(It was nice seeing the words spelled correctly on the signs for awhile though) Close Quote
