Hidden Valley Elementary

Summary:

Hidden Valley Elementary is a public elementary school in Charlotte, North Carolina, serving 943 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district, which is ranked 140 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hidden Valley Elementary faces significant challenges, with a consistently low academic performance that ranks in the bottom 25% of North Carolina elementary schools. The school has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science that are 20-30 percentage points lower than state and district averages. This is particularly true for student subgroups such as those with disabilities, English language learners, and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who perform in the bottom 25-50% of North Carolina elementary schools. However, the school's homeless student population has performed relatively well, ranking in the top 50% of the state.

While Hidden Valley Elementary struggles, some nearby schools, such as Villa Heights Elementary, Briarwood Academy, and Highland Mill Montessori, perform significantly better on state assessments and have higher SchoolDigger rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by Hidden Valley Elementary may be unique to the school or its specific student population. Additionally, the school's African American and Hispanic student subgroups perform better than the school's overall performance, ranking in the middle 50% of North Carolina elementary schools, providing opportunities for targeted interventions and improvements.

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.
