Summary:
The River Valley Community School District operates two schools - River Valley Elementary and River Valley Junior-Senior High School. The district appears to be facing challenges, as both schools are performing below the state average on various academic measures, with the high school ranking in the bottom half of Iowa high schools.
River Valley Elementary serves 174 students in grades PK-5, while River Valley Junior-Senior High School has 168 students in grades 6-12. Both schools have relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating potential socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student achievement. The per-student spending at both schools is relatively high compared to the state average, but this does not appear to be translating into strong academic outcomes, particularly at the high school level.
The data suggests that the academic performance of River Valley Junior-Senior High School has been declining over the past few years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking and below-average ISASP scores. The district may want to investigate the root causes of these issues and develop targeted strategies to improve student achievement and overall school quality across both campuses.
