The school is part of the Watauga County Schools district, which is ranked 47 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Green Valley Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (84.79%) compared to the state average for elementary schools (52.1%), its academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on EOG (End-of-Grade) tests, is generally lower than the Watauga County Schools district and the state average. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (64.08%), which is significantly higher than the state average and indicates a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, with 10 students per teacher in the 2022-2023 school year, suggesting a potentially more personalized learning environment.

Over the past several years, Green Valley Elementary's academic performance has declined relative to the district and state, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from 438 out of 1,434 elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 1,006 out of 1,505 in 2023-2024. When analyzing the performance of specific student subgroups, the school's rankings are particularly low for female students, white students, and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Watauga County district, such as Blowing Rock Elementary, Parkway Elementary, and Hardin Park Elementary, Green Valley Elementary generally performs worse academically.

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.
