TRI-COUNTY WARD

Tri-County Ward is a public school that is part of the Tri-County Sp Ed Jnt Agreement school district, located in Du Quoin, IL with about 70 students. With about 9 teachers, Tri-County Ward has a student/teacher ratio of about 7:1. 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.

The facility located at 120 E Spring St in Du Quoin, Illinois, is historically recognized as the **Tri-County Ward School**. Operating within the Du Quoin Community Unit School District 300, this site has served as a significant educational landmark for the local community. Historically, the school was designed to provide foundational education to students in the area, reflecting the architectural and pedagogical standards common to regional elementary schooling in Southern Illinois during its peak years of operation.

Today, the building functions as part of the broader district infrastructure. While the educational landscape in Du Quoin has evolved to consolidate services, the Tri-County Ward facility remains a notable point of interest within the town’s historical and educational geography. It represents the district's long-standing commitment to serving the academic needs of Du Quoin’s youth and continues to be remembered by many residents as a cornerstone of their early school experiences.
