Summary:
The 44076 zip code area is home to 3 schools - Grand Valley Elementary School, Grand Valley High School, and Grand Valley Middle School - all part of the Grand Valley Local district. While Grand Valley Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, the middle and high schools face challenges in maintaining proficiency levels and addressing high chronic absenteeism rates.
Grand Valley Elementary School is a standout, performing significantly above the state average in math and English language arts proficiency for 3rd and 4th grades. However, the school also has a high percentage (67.5%) of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. In contrast, Grand Valley High School achieves a high 4-year graduation rate of 94.2% and outperforms the state average in American Government and English II end-of-course exams, but struggles with low proficiency rates in Geometry (23.1%) and Algebra I (31%).
Across the district, attendance is a significant concern, with all three schools having relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.1% to 35.5%. This is a critical issue, as chronic absenteeism is closely linked to lower academic achievement and increased risk of dropout. The district may need to investigate the root causes of these attendance problems and implement targeted interventions to improve student engagement and attendance, particularly at the middle and high school levels.
