Springs Valley Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in Math, where 55.98% of all grades were proficient or better in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to 37.19% for the district. The school also outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with 42.93% of all grades being proficient or better. When compared to nearby schools, such as Loogootee Elementary, Pine Ridge Elementary, and Burris Elementary, Springs Valley Elementary School generally performs better in both ELA and Math proficiency.

However, the school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (56.4%) suggests that the school may face socioeconomic challenges, which could contribute to its declining statewide ranking, from 251 out of 1,031 Indiana elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 344 out of 1,010 in 2023-2024. Despite these challenges, Springs Valley Elementary School remains a strong performer, with a relatively homogeneous student population and a commitment to academic excellence.

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.
