Summary:
The Tippecanoe Valley School Corp serves students in grades K-12 across 4 schools: 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district is located in a rural area and has a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with over 55% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the schools, Mentone Elementary School stands out with the highest overall proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, significantly exceeding the district averages. In contrast, Tippecanoe Valley Middle School and Tippecanoe Valley High School have seen their statewide rankings decline in recent years, falling from the top half of schools to the bottom half.
The district-wide chronic absenteeism rate is 17.8%, and the four-year graduation rate at Tippecanoe Valley High School is 88.4%. Spending per student ranges from $9,904 at the middle school to $11,363 at Akron Elementary School, with student-teacher ratios varying from 12.9 to 15.9 across the schools. These metrics suggest opportunities for the district to learn from the successful practices at Mentone Elementary and address the declining performance at the middle and high school levels.
