Green Valley Elementary School

Summary:

Green Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school in Hoover, Alabama, serving 476 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Hoover City School District, which is ranked 10th out of 137 districts in the state.

Green Valley Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 41.39% White, 33.61% African American, 18.91% Hispanic, 1.89% Asian, and 3.99% two or more races. This diversity is higher than nearby schools like Deer Valley Elementary and Trace Crossings Elementary, which tend to have a larger percentage of White students. Despite serving a more diverse and economically disadvantaged student population, with 48.6% to 55.04% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Green Valley Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 30% of Alabama elementary schools over the past several years, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One area of potential improvement for Green Valley Elementary is addressing achievement gaps between racial subgroups. While the school's overall performance is strong, with proficiency rates generally on par with or slightly below the Hoover City district average but significantly above the state average, there are notable gaps between White and African American students. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.7 to 15.4 over the past three years, suggests it may benefit from additional resources and targeted interventions to support the learning needs of its diverse student population and close these achievement gaps.

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.
