Summary

Missouri Valley High School is a public high school serving 236 students in grades 9-12 in Missouri Valley, Iowa, which is part of the Missouri Valley Community School District. The school has consistently performed above the state average on standardized tests, with 85.2% of 10th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 74.7%, and 75% of 11th graders proficient in math compared to the state's 65.6%. Missouri Valley High School also maintains a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 87.5% to 92.7% in recent years, which is on par with or slightly above the state average.

When compared to nearby high schools, Missouri Valley High School appears to be performing better than Woodbine High School and West Harrison Middle School/High School in terms of test scores and graduation rates, but slightly behind Underwood High School and Logan-Magnolia Junior-Senior High School, which are the top-performing schools in the region. The school's chronic absenteeism rate, while not significantly different from the nearby schools, is still an area of concern that the district may want to address.

Overall, Missouri Valley High School appears to be a solid-performing school, with strengths in academic achievement and graduation rates, but also some areas for potential improvement, such as addressing chronic absenteeism. The school serves a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which suggests it may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population compared to some of the nearby schools.
