Hidden Valley Elementary

Summary:

Hidden Valley Elementary is a public elementary school in Savage, Minnesota, serving 484 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District, which is ranked 335 out of 463 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hidden Valley Elementary stands out for its high racial diversity, with 41.12% African American, 20.04% Hispanic, and 9.71% Asian students, significantly more than nearby schools like Harriet Bishop Elementary. However, the school's academic performance is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly for Hispanic and Special Education students. With 63.75% to 79.75% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years, Hidden Valley has a much higher rate of economically disadvantaged students compared to surrounding schools.

Despite these challenges, Hidden Valley Elementary shows some strengths. The school's Asian and African American students have performed relatively well on state assessments, ranking in the top 30% and top 60% of Minnesota elementary schools, respectively. Additionally, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students have also performed well, ranking in the top 30% to 40% of the state. These pockets of success suggest that Hidden Valley may have effective instructional practices or support systems in place that could be leveraged to improve overall academic achievement for all students.

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.
