Summary

River Valley MiddleHigh School is a public school serving 282 students in grades 6-12 in Three Oaks, Michigan, which is part of the River Valley School District. While the school has seen some positive outcomes, such as graduation rates generally on par with the state average, it also faces several challenges that set it apart from nearby high-performing schools.

One key area of concern is the school's test scores, which are consistently lower than state and district averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 11th grade proficiency rates were 16.2% in SAT Math and 56.8% in SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, compared to state averages of 27.5% and 55.4%, respectively. Additionally, River Valley MiddleHigh School has higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.0% to 30.8% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Lakeshore High School and Bridgman High School, River Valley MiddleHigh School generally performs below average on key metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting that it may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes and better support its diverse student population.
