Summary

Tri-County High is a public high school in Plainfield, Wisconsin, serving about 180 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Tri-County Area School District, in a rural central Wisconsin community where 56.67% of students were economically disadvantaged in 2024–2025. Tri-County High ranked 404th of 533 Wisconsin high schools in 2025–2026 (24th percentile, 1 star), an improvement from the 5th and 7th percentiles of the two prior years, while the district ranks 381st of 432 statewide.

Test proficiency is the main concern. In 2025–2026, 10th grade Social Studies proficiency was 20%, compared with 48.25% statewide — the lowest among nearby schools reporting that exam. Math was 22.86% versus 42.93% state, English Language Arts 42.86% versus 48.47%, and Science 40% versus 43.2%. Regionally, Amherst High and Central Sands Community High School post the strongest results, while Tri-County High sits below Lincoln High, Wild Rose High, and Wautoma High, but above Almond-Bancroft High and River Cities High in several subjects.

Completion is a bright spot: a 100% graduation rate and 1.1% dropout rate, tied for best among nearby schools and well above the state. Chronic absenteeism, however, is 23.8% — above the state's 17.3% and higher than Amherst, Wild Rose, Wautoma, and Almond-Bancroft. The school spends $18,676 per student with an 11.1:1 student-teacher ratio, both favorable compared with most nearby schools, and ranks in the 9th percentile for low-SES students, a key equity concern given the high poverty rate.
