Summary:
The Tri-County Area School District in Wisconsin operates three schools: Tri-County Elementary, Tri-County High, and Tri-County Middle. Based on the available data, the district as a whole appears to be struggling, with all three schools performing well below the state average on various metrics.
The key insights reveal that none of the Tri-County schools are standout performers. All three schools are ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in Wisconsin, with Tri-County Elementary and Tri-County High both rated 1 or 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The district as a whole is ranked 399 out of 426 school districts in the state, indicating overall low performance. Across the board, the Tri-County schools consistently score below the state average in proficiency rates for standardized assessments, with particularly low results in math and English language arts.
Attendance and engagement also seem to be significant challenges for the district, as all three schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 17.7%, which are significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the Tri-County schools serve a population with significant economic disadvantages, as evidenced by the high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 53.85% to 67.15%. The variation in per-student spending across the schools also raises questions about how resources are being allocated within the district.
