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.

Open Quote I was a student here many years ago and loved this school! I hope that my daughter loves it just as well! Close Quote

Open Quote We have been at LVE for three years now and love it. We came from a private school and were won over very quickly by the staff. The school has been busting at the seams with growth but now with Juban Park opening this year I think LVE will greatly benefit from it. I hear we are getting a gym, a well needed area for the kids however something MUST be done about the air conditioning. It is minimal at best! Close Quote

Open Quote My daughter has been at LVES for two years and has had great teachers. The facility is in need of expansion and updating, but the teachers, library staff and cafeteria staff are great. I have also been impressed with the front office secretary who seems to know everyone, children and parents alike, by name. Close Quote

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.
