Summary:

The Deep River School District consists of a single school, Deep River Elementary School, which serves students from grades K-6. Despite being the only school in the district, Deep River Elementary has consistently performed at a high level, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years.

Academically, Deep River Elementary School has outperformed the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for grades 3, 4, 5, and 6 over the past two school years. In 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates were 56.3% in ELA and 65.6% in Math, compared to the state averages of 46.9% and 52.2%, respectively. The school's 5th-grade proficiency rates in 2024-2025 were even more impressive, with 75% in Math and 78.6% in Science, significantly higher than the state averages.

While Deep River Elementary School has demonstrated strong academic performance, the school community faces some challenges. In 2023-2024, the school had a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which is a metric to monitor as it can impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 33.85% in 2023-2024, indicating a significant population of students from low-income families. However, the school district's high per-student spending of $22,748 and low student-teacher ratio of 9.8 suggest a strong focus on individualized attention and support for students.
