Valley View Elementary

Summary:

Valley View Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Sanger Independent School District (ISD) in Texas, with a student population of 373 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school has struggled academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Mathematics compared to state averages and its surrounding schools.

Despite relatively high per-student spending of $12,951 in the 2020-2021 school year, Valley View Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking of 3278 out of 4675 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's academic performance has declined over the past few years, and it underperforms nearby schools like Callisburg Elementary, Pilot Point Elementary, and the schools in the Sanger ISD. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of several student subgroups, including Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

Addressing the challenges at Valley View Elementary will likely require a comprehensive approach that goes beyond simply increasing funding, and instead focuses on targeted interventions and support for the school's most vulnerable student populations. The school's struggles are evident when compared to both state averages and the performance of nearby elementary schools, and addressing these issues will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes of the students at Valley View 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.
