Summary:

Buffalo Valley Elementary School serves prekindergarten through grade 6, and Buffalo Valley High School serves grades 9–12; together, they enroll 203 students. The latest reported test results are for 2025–2026, and every school-and-subject result is below its matching state figure.

The schools lead in different subjects: the high school has the higher reported ELA I score, at 16% versus 0% for the elementary school, while the elementary school leads in mathematics, at 13% versus 0%. Both leads are within 13 to 16 points, but the results are not same-grade comparisons because the schools serve different grade spans. Neither school is near the state mark in its weakest subject: elementary ELA I is 26 points below the state, and high school mathematics is 25 points below. The high school’s largest state gap is in U.S. History, where 10% proficiency is 31 points below the state’s 41%.

Results declined from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 at both schools: the high school fell 11 points in ELA I, 10 in science, and 12 in U.S. History, while the elementary school fell 8 points in ELA I and 5 in mathematics. Mathematics stayed at 0% at the high school. SchoolDigger’s ranking history also shows the high school dropping from 200th of 432 schools (54th percentile) in 2023–2024 to 450th of 462 (3rd percentile) in 2025–2026. As context, the elementary school has a higher student–teacher ratio (21.1 versus 17.2) and a higher share of students eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025 (81% versus 64%); these figures do not establish why scores differ. The schools’ differing grade spans mean their all-grades scores should not be treated as a direct performance ranking.
