Tri-Valley CUSD #3
The Tri-Valley School District is an ECE-12 district located in Downs, approximately 8 miles southeast of Bloomington-Normal. The district is the product of the 1962 consolidation of the Downs and Ellsworth School Districts and is approximately 100 square miles in size. District student enrollment is 1043. The enrollment has been increasing steadily at a rate of approximately 3.5% over the past 10 years. The District employs 85 certified staff members and an additional 55 staff members who are non-certified. Over the years, the Tri-Valley School District has gone through many changes. When the Downs and Ellsworth School Districts consolidated, Tri-Valley was predominantly a rural area with agriculture as the primary economic factor. The development of large, rural subdivisions between Downs and Bloomington-Normal has dramatically changed the demographics of the district over the past 15-20 years.
