Academically, Valley Springs Middle has consistently ranked in the top half of North Carolina middle schools, with strong performance in 8th grade science and mathematics. However, the school's overall academic performance is generally on par with or slightly below the county and state averages. The school's diverse student population, with higher percentages of Hispanic and African American students compared to nearby schools, also shows varying academic outcomes across different subgroups. While white and multi-racial students perform well, African American and English Language Learner students lag behind the state average.

Valley Springs Middle is located near several other middle schools, including Eblen Intermediate, Erwin Middle, Enka Middle, and Koontz Intermediate. These nearby schools have varying academic performance and student demographics, providing opportunities for Valley Springs Middle to benchmark its progress and identify areas for improvement. Additionally, the school's increasing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, as well as its relatively low student-to-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, suggest that the school may be serving a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students compared to some of its neighbors.

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.
