Valley View Elementary

Summary:

Valley View Elementary is a public K-5 school in Austin, Texas, serving 302 students, with a predominantly White (66.89%) student population and significant Hispanic (18.21%) and Asian (9.93%) representation. As part of the highly-ranked Eanes Independent School District, Valley View consistently performs among the top elementary schools in Texas, with strong academic achievement across various metrics.

Valley View Elementary's standout features include its consistently high STAAR test scores, which exceed state averages, particularly in reading and mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, 76.92% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state average of 53.96%. The school's performance on STAAR tests for specific student subgroups, such as White, Asian, and Special Education students, is also notably stronger than the state averages. Additionally, Valley View boasts a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.0 to 9.7 over the past three years, significantly lower than nearby schools like Eanes Elementary and Cedar Creek Elementary, as well as higher spending per student, ranging from $11,356 to $13,346 over the same period.

While Valley View Elementary's academic performance is consistently exceptional, it is worth noting that the school serves a more diverse student population in terms of socioeconomic status compared to some of the other high-performing schools in the Eanes Independent School District, with 9.93% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, higher than schools like Forest Trail Elementary (3.86%) and Eanes Elementary (4.94%). This suggests that Valley View Elementary may be providing educational opportunities to a broader range of students, contributing to its overall success.

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.
