Del Valle Elementary

Summary:

Del Valle Elementary is a public elementary school in La Puente, California, serving 220 students in grades K-6 and part of the Hacienda la Puente Unified school district.

While Del Valle Elementary has some concerning trends, including high chronic absenteeism rates and lower-than-average test scores compared to the district and state, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. For instance, the school ranks higher for female students and Hispanic students than for male students and English Language Learners. Additionally, Del Valle Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the school may be facing significant socioeconomic challenges. When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Fairgrove Academy and Workman Elementary, Del Valle Elementary appears to be performing below average.

The analysis of Del Valle Elementary's data reveals a concerning trend of declining performance over the years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking and lower proficiency rates compared to previous years. To address these issues, the school and district should consider implementing targeted strategies to improve student outcomes, such as providing additional support and resources to address the specific needs of underperforming student subgroups and addressing the socioeconomic factors that may be contributing to the school's 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.

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.
