H-L-V Community School District

The H-L-V Community School District in Iowa serves students from elementary through high school, with two schools in the district: H-L-V Elementary School and H-L-V Junior-Senior High School. Both schools demonstrate strong academic performance, with several grades and subjects exceeding the state average proficiency rates on standardized tests.

H-L-V Elementary School stands out for its consistently high performance, particularly in 6th-grade English Language Arts and 3rd-grade Mathematics, where proficiency rates are significantly above the state average. The school also benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.9, which may contribute to its academic success. In contrast, H-L-V Junior-Senior High School excels in 10th-grade English Language Arts and 7th-grade English Language Arts, with proficiency rates well above the state average.

While both schools have a predominantly White student population, the district may want to consider ways to ensure that the educational experience and support are inclusive and equitable for all students, including those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The higher free and reduced lunch rate at the junior-senior high school (32.14%) compared to the elementary school (25.15%) suggests a need for additional resources and support to address the unique needs of these students as they transition to higher grade levels.
