Valley View High School

Summary:

Valley View High School is a public high school located in Hidalgo, Texas, serving 1,170 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the Valley View Independent School District, which is ranked 227 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Valley View High School stands out for its overwhelmingly Hispanic student population (over 99%), well above the state average, as well as its consistently high graduation rates, ranging from 93.5% to 98.3% in recent years, which are higher than the state average and some nearby schools like Psja Thomas Jefferson T-STEM Early College High School and Psja Collegiate School Of Health Professions. The school's dropout rates have also been relatively low, ranging from 0.5% to 1.7%, better than the state average and nearby schools. However, the school's STAAR test scores, while on par with the district and state, have been consistently lower in English I Reading and Algebra I compared to the region.

Valley View High School's success in supporting its English Language Learner (ELL) and migrant student populations is a notable strength, with the school ranking among the top Texas high schools in these categories. But the school has had more mixed results in supporting its special education and at-risk student populations. Overall, Valley View High School is a high-need, predominantly Hispanic school that has maintained strong graduation rates, but faces challenges in matching the academic performance of some of its higher-performing neighbors, particularly in English and math.

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.
