Summary:
The West Central Valley Community School District in Iowa has only one high school, West Central Valley High School, which serves grades 9-12. While the school's performance has declined in recent years, dropping from a 3-star to a 1-star rating on SchoolDigger, it still maintains a graduation rate slightly above the state average.
Academically, West Central Valley High School has mixed results. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts are above the state average for 10th and 9th grades, but below the state average for 11th grade. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates are below the state average across all grade levels. However, the school's 10th-grade Science proficiency rate is above the state average.
The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 35.63% in 2023-2024, and its per-student spending is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio is lower than the state average, which could be a positive factor in providing individualized attention to students. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% in 2023-2024 may be a contributing factor to its declining performance and could be an area for the district to address.
