High Schools in Tri-County Area School District

Summary:

The Tri-County Area School District has only one high school, Tri-County High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been a concern, with its statewide ranking declining from 350 out of 415 schools in 2022-2023 to 402 out of 431 schools in the 2024-2025 school year, and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tri-County High's graduation rate of 91.0% in 2023-2024 is slightly above the state average, but the school struggles in other areas. Its test scores are significantly lower than the state averages across all subjects, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is higher than the state average. Additionally, over 53% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the school's relatively low performance, it has a higher spending per student than the state average, at $16,461 in the 2020-2021 school year. This raises questions about the efficient use of resources and the factors contributing to the school's struggles. Overall, the data suggests that Tri-County High is an underperforming school that requires targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and address the challenges faced by the school and its community.
