Spring Valley Elementary

Summary:

Spring Valley Elementary is a public elementary school in Raytown, Missouri, serving 380 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Raytown C-2 School District, which is ranked 327 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Spring Valley Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Missouri elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts are significantly lower than the Raytown C-2 district and the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2022-2023, only 8.9% of 3rd graders, 15.7% of 4th graders, and 6.5% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the district averages of 18.9%, 19%, and 21.8%, respectively. The school also has a higher percentage of African American (57.89%) and Hispanic (17.63%) students, as well as a significantly higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (73.95% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch).

While Spring Valley Elementary has the highest per-student spending among the nearby schools, with $13,677 spent per student in 2021-2022, the school's student-teacher ratio of 13.8 in 2022-2023 is higher than the nearby schools, such as Blue Ridge Elementary and Southwood Elementary, which generally perform better academically. These schools also have a more diverse student population and a lower percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at Spring Valley Elementary may contribute to the school's academic challenges, and the school's low ranking suggests that it may be facing systemic issues that require a comprehensive approach to address.

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.
