Tri-Creek School Corporation

Summary:

The Tri-Creek School Corporation in Indiana operates 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district is home to several standout schools, with Lake Prairie Elementary School and Three Creeks Elementary School ranking among the top elementary schools in the state. Lowell Senior High School also performs well, ranking in the top 20% of Indiana high schools.

The district's elementary schools consistently demonstrate strong academic performance, with high test scores and low rates of free/reduced lunch recipients. Lake Prairie Elementary stands out with over 79% of students proficient or better in ILEARN Math and over 65% proficient or better in ILEARN English Language Arts. In contrast, the high school and middle school, while still performing well, do not maintain the same level of exceptional results seen at the elementary level.

Overall, the Tri-Creek School Corporation appears to be a high-performing district, with a commitment to providing equitable educational opportunities across its schools. However, the district may want to address the relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% across all schools, as improving attendance could lead to even stronger academic outcomes.
