H-L-V Community School District

The H-L-V Community School District serves the local community with one elementary school and one junior-senior high school, covering grades PK-12 for a total of 295 students.

H-L-V Elementary School stands out with its strong academic performance, with 3rd-6th grade students scoring above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In 2024-2025, 5th grade students achieved 81% proficiency in ELA and 90.5% proficiency in Mathematics, significantly outperforming the state averages. The school's 3-star rating from SchoolDigger places it in the top half of elementary schools statewide. In contrast, H-L-V Junior-Senior High School maintains a 2-star rating, with strong 7th and 8th grade ELA performance but struggles with Mathematics proficiency, particularly in the upper grades.

Both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, over 21%, which may be impacting overall academic achievement. The district's per-student spending is higher at the high school level, which could indicate a need to re-evaluate resource allocation and ensure equitable funding across the district. Addressing these areas, such as implementing targeted interventions and tailored support programs, could help the H-L-V Community School District improve its overall performance and better serve its students.
