May Valley Elementary School

Summary:

May Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Floyd County School District in Kentucky. The school has 428 students and is located in Martin, KY. May Valley Elementary has a long history of strong academic performance, but has seen a decline in recent years.

May Valley Elementary consistently outperforms the Floyd County district and the state of Kentucky in academic proficiency across multiple subjects and grade levels. The school also has a strong track record of supporting its special education students, ranking 25th out of 661 Kentucky elementary schools for special education performance in 2018-2019. Despite serving a high-poverty student population, with 72.9% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, May Valley Elementary spends significantly more per student than the state average.

However, the school's performance has declined in recent years, dropping from a 5-star rating to a 2-star rating in 2020-2021. This decline is concerning, and the school's disparities in student group performance, with its low-income and white student populations struggling more than its overall performance, warrant further investigation. When compared to other elementary schools in the Floyd County district and surrounding areas, South Floyd Elementary and Betsy Layne Elementary have significantly lower academic proficiency rates across multiple subjects and grade levels.

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.
