Spring Valley Elementary

Summary:

Spring Valley Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 396 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Richardson Independent School District (ISD).

Despite receiving relatively high per-student funding of $11,705, Spring Valley Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with only 31.43% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading and just 17.14% proficient or better in STAAR Mathematics. The school's performance is particularly low for male students, English Language Learners, and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with these subgroups ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Texas elementary schools. In comparison, nearby Spring Creek Elementary, Arapaho Classical Magnet, and Prestonwood Elementary consistently outperform Spring Valley on academic measures, with significantly higher proficiency rates on STAAR tests and lower percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Spring Valley Elementary, with 86.11% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, is likely a contributing factor to the school's struggles. Additionally, the school's student population has seen a decrease in the percentage of White and Asian students in recent years, with the majority of students being Hispanic. Despite the school's efforts to address these challenges, the persistent achievement gaps for certain student subgroups suggest that a more comprehensive approach may be needed to improve academic outcomes at Spring Valley Elementary.

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.
