Summary:
Tri-County School Corporation is a small Indiana district serving about 791 students across just three schools — one junior/senior high for grades 7–12 and two elementary schools covering PK–2 and 3–6 — meaning each grade band has only a single school, and the district as a whole ranks 141st of 374 Indiana districts (62nd percentile, 3 stars).
Tri-County Intermediate School is the district's strongest improvement story. Its state rank climbed from 485 of 1005 (52nd percentile) to 402 of 1015 (60th percentile) in 2025–26. It has the lowest chronic absenteeism in the district at 9.5%, well under the district's 11.7% and the state's 16.7%. Its all-grade ILEARN Math proficiency of 48.61% beats the district's 41.69%, and 3rd grade math (58.33%), 4th grade math (54.55%), 4th grade ELA (46.97%), 4th grade science (48.48%) and 5th grade social studies (48.21%) all exceed state averages — even though it has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (41.47%) and the lowest per-student spending ($12,804). Its weakest area is 6th grade ELA at 33.33%, below the state's 41.3%.
Tri-County Junior/Senior High School is more mixed. Its graduation rate of 93.1% is above the state's 89.7%, and SAT Math proficiency (31.91%) is above the state's 25.6%. But ILEARN Math is weak at 26.72%, with 8th grade math at only 20.34% against the state's 34.2%, and its rank fell from 79th percentile/4 stars to 60th percentile/3 stars as Biology EOC dropped from 40.43% to 31.37% and SAT EBRW from 59.62% to 48.94%. It spends the most per student ($19,046) and has the smallest classes (9.2 students per teacher). Tri-County Primary School has no test or rank data, as expected for a PK–2 school, but reports the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (34.9%) and attendance better than the state average.
