Summary

White River Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 363 students in grades PK-5 in Worthington, Indiana, which is part of the White River Valley School District. The school has consistently outperformed the district and state averages on ILEARN assessments, with 51.57% of students proficient or better in Math and 36.48% proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the district's 44.44% and 34.31% respectively.

However, the school faces some challenges, including higher chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 15.4% to 19.2% in recent years, which is an area the school could focus on improving. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.68% to 63.5% in recent years, suggesting it serves a higher-need population compared to some nearby schools. When comparing White River Valley Elementary to its neighbors, it performs better than some, such as Northeast East Elementary, Patricksburg Elementary, and Shakamak Elementary, but lags behind others, such as North Daviess Elementary, McCormick's Creek Elementary, Clay City Elementary, Linton-Stockton Elementary, and Bloomfield Elementary.

Despite these challenges, White River Valley Elementary spends between $9,329 and $10,050 per student, which is on the higher end compared to some nearby schools, indicating the White River Valley School District is investing more resources into the school. However, this does not necessarily translate to higher academic performance, as other factors like teacher quality, curriculum, and student engagement also play a significant role.
