Southeast Valley High School

Summary:

Southeast Valley High School is a public high school serving approximately 300 students in grades 9-12 in the rural community of Gowrie, Iowa. The school is part of the Southeast Valley Community School District, which is ranked 236 out of 309 districts in the state and has a 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the key concerns about Southeast Valley High School is its consistently low test scores across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 10th-grade proficiency rates were significantly lower than the state averages, with 63.2% in English Language Arts (vs. 73.8% state average), 59.2% in Mathematics (vs. 66% state average), and 58.7% in Science (vs. 59.5% state average). This performance gap is consistent across all grade levels, suggesting the school may be struggling to effectively educate its students and prepare them for academic success.

Additionally, while the racial composition of Southeast Valley High School is not provided, the surrounding schools have a much higher percentage of white students (around 90%) compared to the state average. This could indicate that Southeast Valley High School may have a more diverse student population, which could present unique challenges and opportunities. Furthermore, the nearby schools have free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 35.35% to 54.38%, suggesting that Southeast Valley High School may serve a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, which could be a contributing factor to the school's low academic performance and may require targeted interventions and support.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
