Summary:
The Valley View Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates three schools: Valley View Elementary, Valley View Middle, and Valley View High School. These schools serve a predominantly White and Hispanic student population, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
The standout school in the district is Valley View High School, which boasts an impressive 98.5% four-year graduation rate, significantly above the state average. Additionally, the high school performs relatively well on STAAR end-of-course exams, with proficiency rates above the district and state averages in several subjects. In contrast, the district as a whole, Valley View ISD, is ranked 773 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is a lower-performing district compared to others in the state.
While the schools have some positive attributes, such as low student-teacher ratios and low dropout rates, they face challenges in academic performance, with proficiency rates often 10-20 percentage points lower than the state average on STAAR assessments. The high rates of economically disadvantaged students, as evidenced by the high free/reduced lunch rates, suggest that addressing the needs of this population could be an area of focus for improvement within the district.
