Indian Valley High School

Summary:

Indian Valley High School is a public high school serving 466 students in grades 9-12 in Gnadenhutten, Ohio, which is part of the Indian Valley Local School District. The school consistently performs above the state average on Ohio State Tests, with proficiency rates often 10-15 percentage points higher than the state. Indian Valley High School also maintains high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 93% to 97.6% over the past five years, outpacing the state average.

While Indian Valley High School has a predominantly white student population, with over 96% of students identifying as white, the school has shown strong performance across various student subgroups, including female students, white students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students. This indicates that the school is effectively supporting the academic needs of diverse student populations. In comparison, the nearby Buckeye Career Center, a vocational high school, has a higher percentage of Hispanic and low-income students, which may provide opportunities for collaboration and resource-sharing between the two schools.

However, Indian Valley High School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 9.4% in 2019-2020 to 24% in 2021-2022. This concerning trend warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to address the underlying causes, such as socioeconomic factors, mental health challenges, or engagement issues. By addressing this challenge, the school can continue to build on its strong academic performance and support the needs of all its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
