Summary

Tri-County Intermediate School is a public elementary school located in Wolcott, Indiana, serving grades 3-6 with a total enrollment of 244 students. The school is part of the Tri-County School Corporation, which is ranked 127 out of 380 school districts in Indiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tri-County Intermediate School faces several challenges, including lower test scores compared to the state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rate in ILEARN English Language Arts was 34.36%, compared to the state average of 40.5% and the district average of 36.29%. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 7.6% in 2021-2022 to 17.8% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average of 16.3%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 40.97% to 41.39% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average of around 48%.

Interestingly, Tri-County Intermediate School's performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools, such as Otterbein Elementary School and Van Rensselaer Elementary School, which have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. The school's statewide ranking has also dropped from 198 out of 1,027 Indiana elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 485 out of 1,005 in 2024-2025, indicating a decline in performance over time. The high chronic absenteeism rate and relatively high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance.
