Valley View Elementary School

Summary:

Valley View Elementary School is a public elementary school in Cleveland, Tennessee, serving 307 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Bradley County school district, which is ranked 56 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 3-star rating.

While Valley View has a significantly higher percentage of white students (88.6%) compared to the more diverse surrounding schools, its academic performance is generally lower than the Bradley County and Tennessee averages. In 2023-2024, only 33.5% of Valley View students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 43.4% in Bradley County and 39.7% statewide. Valley View's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from 140 out of 646 Tennessee elementary schools in 2016-2017 (4 stars) to 683 out of 1008 in 2023-2024 (2 stars), placing it in the bottom third of Tennessee elementary schools.

The low performance of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and minority groups at Valley View suggests that the school may need to address the unique challenges faced by these students. Nearby schools, such as Michigan Avenue Elementary School and Park View Elementary School, have significantly higher academic performance and statewide rankings, indicating that Valley View has room for improvement in aligning its curriculum and instructional practices with these higher-performing schools.

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.
