Summary

H-L-V Junior-Senior High School is a public high school located in Victor, Iowa, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 135 students. The school is part of the H-L-V Community School District, which is ranked 149 out of 313 districts in Iowa and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

H-L-V Junior-Senior High School has demonstrated strong academic performance, with test scores generally above the state average and a high graduation rate ranging from 87.5% to 94.7% in recent years. However, the school's statewide ranking and rating have fluctuated over the past decade, ranging from a high of 49th out of 320 Iowa high schools in 2017-2018 to a low of 291st out of 324 in 2014-2015. The school's chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.0% to 23.4%, are an area of concern and may be worth further investigation. Compared to nearby schools, such as Tri-County Junior/Senior High School, H-L-V Junior-Senior High School performs well academically but may have lower spending per student and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Overall, H-L-V Junior-Senior High School has demonstrated strengths in academic performance and graduation rates, but the school's fluctuating statewide ranking and high chronic absenteeism rates suggest areas for improvement. Continued efforts to maintain and improve the school's academic performance, address chronic absenteeism, and ensure equitable access to resources for all students will be crucial for the school's long-term success.
