Tri-Valley Central School District

The Tri-Valley Central School District is home to two schools: Tri-Valley Elementary School and Tri-Valley Secondary School. While the secondary school has shown strong academic performance, the elementary school has room for improvement, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency.

Tri-Valley Secondary School stands out for its impressive performance on state assessments, with 60.71% of 8th graders proficient or better in ELA and 79.41% proficient or better in Science, exceeding state averages. In contrast, Tri-Valley Elementary School has ELA proficiency rates ranging from 21.28% in 3rd grade to 64.58% in 6th grade, which are below the state averages. However, the elementary school shines in math, with over 50% of students in grades 3-6 scoring proficient or better on state math assessments.

Overall, the Tri-Valley Central School District appears to have a mix of strengths and areas for improvement. While the secondary school maintains a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, the high chronic absenteeism rate of 38.2% at the secondary level is a concern that warrants further investigation. The district's financial investment in its schools, with per-student spending ranging from $16,758 at the elementary school to $19,507 at the secondary school, is a positive sign, but the focus should be on addressing the ELA proficiency gap at the elementary level to ensure a strong academic foundation for all students.
