Creek Valley Elementary

Summary:

Creek Valley Elementary is a public elementary school serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade in Edina, Minnesota, a highly-ranked school district in the state. With a diverse student population and a strong academic track record, Creek Valley is a standout school in the area.

Academically, Creek Valley Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Minnesota, with proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science assessments that significantly exceed state averages. The school's performance is particularly strong for certain student subgroups, such as male students, Asian students, and students with special education needs. However, there are notable achievement gaps for African American students and students from low-income families, suggesting the need for additional support and strategies to ensure equitable opportunities for all students.

While Creek Valley's academic excellence is impressive, the school faces some challenges as its student population becomes more economically diverse. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has increased in recent years, indicating a growing population of students from lower-income families. This shift may require the school to adapt its resources and support systems to ensure that all students have the necessary tools to succeed. Compared to other Edina Public School District elementary schools, Creek Valley performs well, but some nearby schools, such as Normandale Elementary and Concord Elementary, have even higher academic performance and statewide rankings, suggesting that Creek Valley may have room for improvement to reach the top tier of Minnesota elementary schools.

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.
