These schools have shown a mix of strengths and challenges, with Vian High School and Vian Middle School standing out as the top performers in the district.
Vian High School has seen significant improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 313 out of 350 in 2021-2022 to 105 out of 431 in 2023-2024, and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Meanwhile, Vian Middle School has consistently outperformed the state average in 8th-grade English Language Arts, with 68% proficiency compared to 40% statewide. However, Vian Elementary School has struggled, with its 3rd and 4th-grade students performing below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
Across the district, the schools face significant challenges, with all three having very high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 80.25% to 86.27%. This indicates that the student population in Vian comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which can present unique challenges for the schools. Additionally, there are disparities in spending per student, with Vian High School spending nearly $3,400 more per student than Vian Elementary School. These factors likely contribute to the observed performance gaps between the schools in the Vian district.
