Desert Valley Elementary School

Summary:

Desert Valley Elementary School is a public school in Glendale, Arizona, serving 494 students in grades PK-8 and part of the Peoria Unified School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a balanced racial composition of 42.11% White and 41.09% Hispanic students, as well as smaller percentages of other races.

Academically, Desert Valley Elementary generally outperforms the district and state averages, particularly in 3rd grade English Language Arts (51% proficient) and 3rd grade Mathematics (62% proficient). The school also shows strong performance in special education and English Language Learner subgroups, ranking in the top 5% and top 45% of Arizona elementary schools, respectively. This academic success may be partly attributed to the school's higher per-student spending of $9,472 compared to the district average.

However, Desert Valley has seen a decline in enrollment and a shift in its racial makeup in recent years, with the percentage of White students decreasing from 48.06% to 42.11%. The school's statewide ranking has also fluctuated between 309 and 537 out of over 1,000 Arizona elementary schools in the past decade, suggesting some inconsistency in performance. While Desert Valley generally outperforms nearby schools in the Peoria Unified School District, some schools, such as Copperwood School and Oakwood Elementary School, have higher overall academic achievement.

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.
