High Schools in H-L-V Community School District

The H-L-V Community School District in Iowa is home to a single high school, H-L-V Junior-Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. While the school has some positive metrics, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in certain subject areas, it also faces some challenges that warrant further attention.

H-L-V Junior-Senior High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 171st out of 336 Iowa high schools in 2022-2023 to 217th out of 340 in 2024-2025. The school's graduation rate of 88.3% is slightly above the state average, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% is relatively high. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally higher than the state averages, but there are some notable exceptions, such as the low 11th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate of 56% compared to the state average of 65.6%.

The school serves a population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, with 34.07% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This may have implications for the school's resource needs and the types of support and interventions it requires to help students succeed. Overall, while H-L-V Junior-Senior High School has some strengths, it also faces challenges that will require targeted interventions and a focus on improving student outcomes across all grade levels and subject areas.
