Summary:
The Springs Valley Com School Corp district in Indiana consists of two schools: Springs Valley Community High School and Springs Valley Elementary School. The elementary school stands out as the stronger performer, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to the district and state averages, particularly in the 3rd and 4th grade levels. The elementary school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate and a more favorable student-teacher ratio than the high school.
While Springs Valley Community High School has a strong 97.1% four-year graduation rate, it lags behind the district and state in English Language Arts and Math proficiency, especially in 8th grade and 11th grade SAT scores. The high school also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 21.4%, which is an area of concern that warrants further investigation.
Both schools have a majority white student population, and the free/reduced lunch rates are relatively high, particularly at the elementary school with 56.4% of students receiving this assistance. While the per-student spending is similar between the two schools, the significant performance gap suggests that factors beyond funding, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school culture, may be contributing to the differences in student outcomes.
