Summary:

Green Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Sinking Spring, PA, serving 537 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Wilson School District, which is ranked 324 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Green Valley Elementary has a unique student demographic, with a higher percentage of White students (72.44%) compared to the surrounding schools. The school has shown strong academic performance in the past, ranking as high as 130 out of 1,547 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2016-2017 and receiving a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, its ranking has declined in recent years, dropping to 872 out of 1,534 schools in 2022-2023 with a 2-star rating. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and disabled students performing relatively well, but White and low socioeconomic status students performing in the bottom quartile.

While Green Valley Elementary's test scores are generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in science, the school's math and English language arts scores are more mixed. When compared to nearby schools, such as Wyomissing Hills Elementary Center, Green Valley Elementary performs better academically, but some schools significantly outperform it in both math and English language arts. The relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Green Valley Elementary (21.97%) compared to some of the other nearby schools suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's academic performance.

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.
