Valley Forge Elementary School

Summary:

Valley Forge Elementary School is a public elementary school in Huber Heights, Ohio, serving 549 students from kindergarten to 6th grade. The school is part of the Huber Heights City School District, which is ranked 559 out of 839 school districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Valley Forge Elementary School has a relatively diverse student population, with 48.63% White, 28.78% African American, 4.92% Hispanic, and 15.85% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the Ohio State Tests, is generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.5% and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 18.5 students per teacher. Additionally, 55.01% of the school's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than the nearby schools.

Despite the school's overall lower academic performance, there are some bright spots. The school's African American students and English Language Learner (ELL) students perform relatively well compared to their peers in the state. However, the school's performance in serving special education and gifted students is a concern. It's important to note that the nearby schools within the Huber Heights City School District also have similar academic performance and demographic characteristics, suggesting that the challenges faced by Valley Forge Elementary School may be systemic within the district.

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.
