Sangamon Valley Intermediate School has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from a 3-star to a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past few years. The school outperforms both the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grades, as well as in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade ELA specifically. In mathematics, the school outperforms the district and state averages for all grades and in 3rd and 4th grade, but falls slightly behind in 5th grade. However, in 5th grade science, the school's proficiency rate of 56.8% is significantly higher than the district (56.8%) and state (40.6%) averages.
The school has a high percentage of students (62.2%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite this, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1 suggests it may have the resources to provide more individualized attention and support to students, which could be a contributing factor to its academic success. Overall, Sangamon Valley Intermediate School appears to be a relatively strong-performing elementary school within its district and the state, with some areas of excellence and a few opportunities for improvement.
