Valley View Elementary

Summary:

Valley View Elementary is a public elementary school located in Nuevo, CA, serving 553 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Nuview Union District, which is ranked 888 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Valley View Elementary faces significant challenges in supporting its diverse student population and improving academic outcomes. The school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 9.0% in 2017-2018 to 46.9% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. Academically, Valley View Elementary consistently underperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 38.33% of Valley View students were proficient or better in ELA End of Course, compared to 42.95% for the district and 47.04% for the state. The school also struggles to support its diverse student population, with lower rankings for subgroups such as female students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities compared to the state averages.

When compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as Nuview Elementary, and other districts, such as Megan Cope Elementary, Romoland Elementary, and Clearwater Elementary, Valley View Elementary consistently performs below the district and state averages in academic achievement. These nearby schools, while also serving high-needs populations, generally outperform Valley View Elementary in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population at Valley View Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's underperformance.

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.
