Valdese Elementary is a public elementary school in Valdese, North Carolina, serving 521 students in grades PK-5. The school consistently outperforms the Burke County Schools district and the state of North Carolina in academic achievement, with strong performance in Mathematics, Reading, and Science.

Valdese Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with 76.78% White, 7.68% Hispanic, 6.33% Asian, and 2.3% African American students. This diversity is higher than nearby schools, which tend to have a larger percentage of White students. However, the school has seen a significant increase in free and reduced lunch recipients, from 50% in 2020-2021 to 66.6% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

The school's Hispanic students have particularly excelled, ranking in the top 5% of North Carolina elementary schools for this subgroup in the 2018-2019 school year. While the school's overall performance is impressive, there may be opportunities to further improve the outcomes for other subgroups, such as special education and gifted and talented students, as well as address the needs of the growing population of economically disadvantaged 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.
