Douglass Valley has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with higher percentages of Hispanic (22.97%), African American (7.43%), and students identifying as two or more races (12.16%). However, the school's academic performance, as measured by CMAS test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (45.5%) and Math (44.6%) were below the district (61.1% and 50.4%, respectively) and state (44.1% and 34.2%, respectively) averages.

Douglass Valley's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby high-performing schools, such as Rockrimmon Elementary, Discovery Canyon Campus Elementary, and The Classical Academy Charter. The school's higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (19.26% in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby schools may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance, as socioeconomic factors can play a significant role in student 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.
