SAT ERW proficiency in 2025–2026 is 56.48%, above the state’s 51.9%, while SAT Math is 25.91% versus the state’s 25.6%, only a slight advantage. Biology ILEARN EOC was 54.39% in 2024–2025, well above the state’s 45.6%; the 2025–2026 state comparison is not provided. The clearest concern is chronic absenteeism: 21.2%, above the district’s 14.7% and the state’s 16.7%, meaning about 1 in 5 students may be chronically absent.

Test results declined year over year: Biology fell 7.25 percentage points, SAT Math fell 5.73 points, and SAT ERW fell 1.33 points. SAT Math is especially notable because the state rate rose slightly from 25.4% to 25.6%, narrowing the school’s advantage from +6.24 points to +0.31 point. The rank also slipped from the 83rd to the 72nd percentile, though the school remains a 4-star, top-quartile Indiana school. Overall, Kankakee Valley High School has strong graduation and above-state SAT ERW results, but rising absenteeism and recent proficiency declines deserve close monitoring.
