Summary:
The Southern Valley Schools district contains a single high school, Southern Valley Junior/Senior High, which serves grades 7-12. While the school has some strong performance in mathematics and science, it faces challenges in English Language Arts proficiency and has a high chronic absenteeism rate. The school's graduation rate is slightly below the state average, and a significant portion of its students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Southern Valley Junior/Senior High's 11th grade proficiency rates in mathematics (57.14%) and science (57.14%) are significantly higher than the state averages, indicating the school's strengths in these subject areas. However, the school's 11th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate (39.29%) is lower than the state average of 45.48%, suggesting a need for additional support and resources in this area. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% is also a concern that requires attention.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student, the data suggests that the school may be facing equity challenges, with 52.29% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing the root causes of the school's attendance and academic performance issues, particularly in English Language Arts, could be crucial in improving overall student outcomes and ensuring equitable access to resources for all students in the Southern Valley Schools district.
