The city of Worthington, Indiana has a single elementary school, White River Valley Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's student population is predominantly white, with limited racial and ethnic diversity. While the school's academic performance shows some strengths, such as above-average 4th grade math proficiency, it also faces challenges, including below-state-average English Language Arts (ELA) scores and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.3%.

Compared to the White River Valley School District as a whole, which is ranked 178 out of 381 districts in Indiana and has a 3-star rating, White River Valley Elementary School's performance is mixed. The school's ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 231 out of 1,016 Indiana elementary schools in 2022-2023 (4 out of 5 stars) to 495 out of 1,010 in 2023-2024 (3 out of 5 stars). This variability suggests the need for a closer examination of the school's curriculum, instruction, and targeted interventions to address the disparities in academic performance across grade levels and subject areas.

While White River Valley Elementary School has some areas of strength, such as its 4th grade math proficiency, the school's overall academic performance, high chronic absenteeism rate, and lack of demographic diversity present opportunities for improvement. Addressing these challenges could help the school and the broader White River Valley School District enhance the educational experience and outcomes for students in the Worthington community.
