Valerie Elementary School

Summary:

Valerie Elementary School is a public elementary school in Dayton, Ohio, serving 547 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Dayton City School District, which is ranked 702 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Valerie Elementary School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 32% to 46.2%, which are much higher than the state and district averages. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 9.5% of 5th-grade students at Valerie Elementary School were proficient or better in Science, compared to 21% for the Dayton City district and 64% for the state. Similar trends are observed in Mathematics and English Language Arts.

When comparing Valerie Elementary School to nearby schools, such as Summit Academy Community School - Dayton, Charity Adams Earley Girls Academy, and Fairview Elementary School, it becomes clear that Valerie Elementary School is among the lowest-performing in the area, both in terms of academic achievement and school rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by Valerie Elementary School may be systemic within the Dayton City School District, and that a more comprehensive, district-wide approach may be necessary to address the educational inequities.

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.
