TRI-ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Tri-Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the South Henry School Corp school district, located in Straughn, IN with about 362 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 21 teachers, Tri-Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Tri-Elementary School is located in Straughn, Indiana, and serves as a foundational component of the Tri-County School Corporation. Nestled in a rural setting, the school focuses on providing a supportive academic environment for students in the primary grades. It emphasizes the development of core literacy and numeracy skills while fostering a close-knit community atmosphere typical of smaller, town-based educational institutions.

The school is dedicated to preparing students for their transition to secondary education by promoting both academic growth and personal character development. By leveraging its small-town location, Tri-Elementary often benefits from strong parental involvement and a collaborative relationship between teachers and the local community. The curriculum is designed to meet state standards while ensuring that each student receives individualized attention to succeed in their formative learning years.
