Summary

Tri-Township Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 134 students in grades PK-6 in Wanatah, Indiana, which is part of the Tri-Township Cons School Corp district.

Tri-Township Elementary consistently outperforms its district average on ILEARN assessments, with 40.3% proficiency in ELA and 46.27% in Math, compared to the district's 34.19% and 32.48% respectively. The school's 5th-grade students stand out, with 61.54% proficient in ELA and 65.38% in Math, well above the state averages. However, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 6.3% to 19.2% over the past few years, which is an area of concern. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 38.01% to 47.76%, suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to nearby schools, Tri-Township Elementary generally performs better than Westville Elementary School, which is in the same district, but lags behind the high-performing schools in the Valparaiso Community Schools and East Porter County School Corp districts, such as Heavilin Elementary School. Tri-Township Elementary has maintained a relatively consistent performance over the years, with its state ranking fluctuating between the 370th and 652nd position out of over 1,000 Indiana elementary schools, suggesting a stable educational environment but also room for improvement to reach the top-performing schools in the state.
