Lake Valley Elementary School

Summary:

Lake Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school in Prescott Valley, Arizona, serving 428 students in grades K-6 and part of the Humboldt Unified District.

The school has a diverse student population, with 52.57% White, 40.19% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other racial groups. However, Lake Valley Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, typically between 500-650 out of around 1,000 schools, and has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years. The school's test scores are generally below the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with proficiency rates as low as 27% in 6th grade Math. Interestingly, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively strong results for female students and homeless students, but struggling with lower rankings for Asian, Native American, and White student subgroups.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Humboldt Unified District, such as Coyote Springs Elementary and Granville Elementary, Lake Valley Elementary generally performs worse on standardized tests and has a lower school ranking. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 32.2% to 62.62% in just one year, suggesting a growing population of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the school's overall academic challenges.

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.

Open Quote My daughter attended a school in Prescott for Kinder. - 1st grade prior to our move to Prescott Valley. While we enjoyed the Prescott school, I have found her education to bloom at Lake Valley. There are no 'gifted' classes at her Prescott school, or many activities. Here, she was placed in an honors program in 2nd grade. They offer Chess Club, Art Club, etc. VERY nice teachers (SO FAR LOL) This yr she will be entering 5th grade, I hope the trend continues!!

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.
