Valley View Elementary

Summary:

Valley View Elementary is a public elementary school in La Follette, Tennessee, serving 412 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Campbell County School District, which is ranked 125 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.

Valley View Elementary faces significant challenges. The school has a much higher percentage of white students (98.06%) compared to the state average, indicating a lack of diversity. Academically, the school consistently underperforms the state and district averages in TNReady assessments for Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were 26.2% in Mathematics, 32.1% in English Language Arts, and 28.6% in Science, while the state averages were 39.7%, 37.6%, and 44%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for male students, white students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the bottom quartile of Tennessee elementary schools for these subgroups.

These issues are compounded by the school's location in a low-performing district and its relatively high student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending. LaFollette Elementary School, Sharps Chapel Elementary, and other nearby schools in the Union County and Claiborne County districts may offer more diverse and higher-performing educational options for families in the area.

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.
