Summary:
White River Valley School District in Indiana contains exactly one high school — White River Valley High School in Switz City — which serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 208 students. Because it is the district's only high school, there are no in-district peers to compare it against, and district-level high-school figures essentially mirror the school's own results.
The school's clearest strengths are completion and support. Its graduation rate of 90.9% is above Indiana's 89.7%, its student-teacher ratio of 10.1 is relatively low, and per-student spending is $16,311 (2023–2024). Attendance is a softer spot: chronic absenteeism of 17.5% is above both the district's 15.1% and the state's 16.7%. The school's state ranking has also slipped — from 218th of 429 schools (49th percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–2025 to 304th of 415 (27th percentile, 1 star) in 2025–2026. The district overall ranks 195th of 374, at the 48th percentile with 2 stars.
Test scores show the largest academic gaps. SAT Mathematics proficiency held flat at 12% in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, roughly 13 percentage points below the state. SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing fell from 48% to 40%, while the state stayed above 50%. Biology on ILEARN was a relative bright spot at 52.63% in 2024–2025, about 7 percentage points above the state's 45.6%, but dropped to 25.49% in 2025–2026, with no state comparison provided for that year. Overall, families get a small school with solid graduation outcomes and strong resource levels, alongside persistent math and reading challenges and a recent decline in state rating.
