Summary:
ZIP code 46348 in La Crosse, Indiana contains exactly one high school: Tri-Township Junior-Senior High School, a public school serving grades 6–12 with 143 students in the Tri-Township Cons School Corp district. Because it is the only school in the ZIP, there are no within-area comparisons to make, but its small size means percentage results can swing noticeably from one small cohort to the next. Its student body is 39.16% free/reduced lunch, per-student spending is $11,367, and the student-teacher ratio is 8.6.
The school's clearest strengths are attendance and completion. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate is 96.0%, above the state's 89.7%, and chronic absenteeism is just 3.2%, far below the district's 5.0% and the state's 16.7% — a strong sign that students are showing up and finishing. The very low student-teacher ratio of 8.6 supports small classes and personalized attention. Test scores also improved sharply in 2025–2026: all-grade ILEARN ELA proficiency rose from 26% to 52%, and Math rose from 14% to 46.94%. The school outperformed its district in all-grade ELA, Math, and Science, with 6th grade ELA and Math well above state levels and 7th grade ELA and Math also above state.
High school-level readiness is the main concern. SAT Math proficiency was 0% in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, compared with state rates of 25.4% and 25.6%, and SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing was below state in both years (41.18% vs. 51.9% in 2025–2026). Biology End-of-Course fell from 22.73% in 2024–2025 (state 45.6%) to 15% in 2025–2026, and 8th grade ELA came in at 40% versus the state's 44%. The school also carries a 1-star rating each year, with percentile rank declining from 28 to 23 to 17. Strong middle-grade results should not be read as proof that high school math and science readiness has improved.
