Summary:

Tri-County Intermediate School is a public elementary school in Wolcott, Indiana, serving 227 students in grades 3-6. The school is part of the Tri-County School Corporation, which is ranked 101 out of 381 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Tri-County Intermediate School stands out for its higher percentage of white students (86.78%) compared to the state average, as well as its generally strong test scores, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade ILEARN English Language Arts and Math. However, the school's performance declines in 5th and 6th grades, with lower proficiency rates compared to the state. The school also faces challenges with a higher chronic absenteeism rate (12.9%) and a relatively high percentage of students (40.97%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

Compared to nearby schools, Otterbein Elementary School has similar test scores in some grade levels but performs better in 5th and 6th grade ILEARN assessments. In contrast, North White Elementary School has significantly lower test scores across all grade levels, likely due to its higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (83.37% free/reduced lunch). The pattern of declining performance in the upper grades is also observed in other nearby schools, suggesting a potential challenge in maintaining student achievement as they progress through the elementary grades.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
