Valley Oak Elementary

Summary:

Valley Oak Elementary is a public elementary school in Fresno, California, serving 496 students in grades K-6 and part of the Clovis Unified school district, which is ranked 326 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

Valley Oak Elementary consistently outperforms the Clovis Unified district and the state of California in academic assessments, with 65.89% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 65.25% in Mathematics, compared to 67.06% and 52.41% for the district, respectively. The school's performance is particularly strong for male and Hispanic students, ranking in the top 10-20% of California elementary schools. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, from 3.9% in 2017-2018 to 17.1% in 2022-2023, which is an area the school should address.

Compared to nearby schools, Valley Oak Elementary outperforms most in the Clovis Unified district, such as Pinedale Elementary and Mountain View Elementary. However, some schools like Riverview Elementary and James S. Fugman Elementary also have strong academic results. Valley Oak's relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (33.67%) compared to nearby schools suggests it serves a more affluent student population, which may contribute to its academic success.

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.
