2006-2007 Tri-Creek School Corporation Annual Performance Report

 

 

This is a report on the performance of the Tri-Creek School Corporation and its schools.  The goal is to give you information to tell you what progress the schools are making to help students learn more.

 

There are additional indicators that are available to you on the Indiana Department of Education’s Web site (www.doe.in.gov/asap), including data broken out by different student subgroups, such as race, gender, income level, and special education.

 

The data in this report have been supplied by the Indiana Department of Education and the Tri-Creek School Corporation.  The report provides the most recent data available.

 

Indiana educators and citizens have developed higher academic standards for all students.  These standards are necessary to prepare Indiana students to be successful in life, whether they go directly to higher education or to the workplace.  The scores for ISTEP+ are listed under each school to reflect student progress toward those standards.  For the high school, you also will see graduation rates and the percentage of graduates who plan to go on to college.

 

Other important information is provided, such as average attendance rates and indicators of school safety, including expulsions and suspensions.

 

Also included is information about the Tri-Creek School Corporation, such as how much is spent, on average, for each student; how much teachers are paid; and the percentage of Tri-Creek students who are in special education classes or gifted and talented classes.

 

If you have any questions about this information, you should contact the Tri-Creek School Corporation at (219) 696-6661 or contact the Indiana Department of Education at (317) 232-6611 or by e-mail at apr@doe.in.gov.

 

 

The following indicators show you the performance of the Tri-Creek School Corporation.  Where possible, you will see three years of data so you can see the trends – not just this year’s results.  For many indicators, you can see how the Tri-Creek School Corporation’s data compare to the state average.
