Summary:

Happy Valley Elementary is a public elementary school located in Lenoir, North Carolina, serving grades PK-8 with a student population of 222. The school is part of the Caldwell County Schools district, which is ranked 151 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Happy Valley Elementary faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages, a significantly higher percentage of white students (91.89%) compared to nearby schools, and a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (ranging from 50.22% to 71.62% over the past three school years). The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates, has generally declined over the past few years, with the school ranking in the bottom half of North Carolina elementary schools. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with white students performing in the bottom quarter of North Carolina elementary schools, but low socioeconomic status students performing in the top half.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Caldwell County Schools district, Happy Valley Elementary generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates and lower school rankings. However, some nearby schools, such as Lower Creek Elementary and Collettsville School, have stronger academic performance and higher school rankings. To improve, Happy Valley Elementary may need to explore targeted interventions and support to address the academic needs of its diverse student population, particularly in the areas of mathematics and reading.

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.
