While Springs Valley Community High School has some areas of strength, such as consistently high 4-year graduation rates ranging from 93.8% to 98.3% over the past 5 years, the school also faces challenges. It has a significantly higher percentage of white students (85.9%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 91-97% white students.

Academically, the school's proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math are lower than the state and district averages, with ELA proficiency at 31.84% compared to the district's 37.47%, and Math proficiency at 17.88% compared to the district's 37.19%. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 43-47% over the past 3 years.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as Loogootee High School and Northeast Dubois Junior/Senior High School, Springs Valley Community High School generally underperforms in terms of test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. The school's statewide ranking has also fluctuated significantly over the years, ranging from 63rd to 216th out of Indiana high schools. Understanding the drivers behind these performance gaps and addressing the areas of concern could help the school improve and better serve its diverse student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
