Virgin Valley Elementary School

Summary:

Virgin Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Mesquite, Nevada, with a student population of 569 as of the 2022-2023 school year. This school stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, outpacing the Clark County and Nevada state averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency across all grade levels.

Despite having a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a predominantly low-income student population, Virgin Valley Elementary School maintains a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $10,335 in 2018-2019 to $12,739 in 2021-2022. The school also boasts a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15.3 to 16.2 over the past few years, which may contribute to its academic success. In contrast, the nearby Bowler Joseph L Elementary School has significantly lower academic performance compared to Virgin Valley Elementary.

While the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 109th out of 377 elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 223rd out of 324 in 2020-2021, its consistent academic achievement and effective utilization of resources suggest that Virgin Valley Elementary School is providing a high-quality education to its students, despite the challenges of serving a predominantly low-income population.

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.
