Summary:
The Tri-County Community School District in Iowa has only one elementary school, Tri-County Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 104 students. The school's academic performance has been consistently below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across multiple grade levels and school years.
Tri-County Elementary School's 3rd-grade students scored 46.7% proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 64.2%, and 60% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 76.3%. Similarly, the school's 6th-grade students scored 60% proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 74.5%, and 90% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 71.1%. This suggests that the school may be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.
Despite having adequate financial resources, with a per-student spending of $10,514 and a student-teacher ratio of 15.5 to 1, Tri-County Elementary School serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (43.27%). The school's low academic performance may be influenced by these factors, and the district should explore strategies to improve student outcomes and ensure that all students have access to a quality education.
