Summary

Tri County Juvenile Detent is a small public high school serving grades 7-12 in the Sherman Independent School District (ISD) in Denison, Texas, with a diverse student population of only 9 students as of the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite its small size, Tri County Juvenile Detent faces significant challenges. The school ranks in the bottom 12% of Texas high schools, with extremely low proficiency rates on state assessments, far below the district and state averages. For example, the school had a 0% proficiency rate in Algebra I, compared to 33% for the district and 45% for the state. Additionally, the school has seen a concerning increase in its dropout rate, rising from 0% in 2018-2019 to 8.7% in 2021-2022, significantly higher than the 1.1% rate at nearby Sherman High School. The school also serves a high-need population, with 36.36% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, higher than the 69.88% at Sherman High School.

Tri County Juvenile Detent's unique challenges may be attributed to its specialized role as a facility serving students in the juvenile justice system, which likely requires specialized educational and support services that the school may be struggling to provide effectively. Despite the poor academic outcomes, the school spends a relatively high amount per student, raising questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
