Summary:
The 62916 zip code is home to a single high school, Trico Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, it continues to provide educational opportunities for the local community.
Trico Senior High School has a 89.0% four-year graduation rate, which is a positive indicator, but its test scores are generally lower than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 31.8% of 11th graders were proficient or better in ACT/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 51.7%. Similarly, only 24.2% of 11th graders were proficient or better in ACT/Mathematics, compared to the state average of 39.3%. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is also higher than the state average.
Despite the school's challenges, it has a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.7 compared to the state average, and it spends $16,198 per student, which is higher than the state average. However, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (55.95%) suggests that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could impact academic performance. The school's leadership and the Trico CUSD 176 district will need to focus on addressing these areas of concern to improve the educational outcomes for the students.
